The Blockade or Obstruction tactic occurs when players are forced to make a move or capture which blocks or obstructs their pieces from defending against their opponent's attack. It is associated with the term "Obstruction Sacrifice" which is a sacrifice intended to blockade a square, file, rank or diagonal. As such it can be considered to be the opposite of a clearance sacrifice. 30 games, 1895-2017 Open File Domination 5 games, 1948-2007 Opening blunders punished. 10 games, 1750-2008 Opening Gambit Ideas 18 games, 1857-2002 Opening Ideas for Black 9 games, 1863-2004 Opening Ideas for Black in Response to 1.d4 4 games, 1956-2002 Opening ideas for White These games provide ideas and plans for beating the sicilian with the white pieces. 17 games, 1966-2004 Opening Ideas in the Ruy Lopez Provides opening ideas for white and black in the Ruy Lopez. 1 game, 1895 Overloading of Pieces 14 games, 1929-2018 Overworked Piece 50 games, 1864-2018 Passed Pawns 190 games, 1834-2017 patzer2's favorite games 0 games, Pawn sacrifices (middle game) 1 game, 1987 Pawn Tactics (capturing a chain of pieces) On occasion I run into a situation where I have the opportunity to capture a chain of pieces with the same pawn. Sometimes, my opponent also has the same opportunity. Deciding whether to go into the series of alternating captures or avoid it can be difficult. So, in order to improve my understanding of such positions, I've decided to make a separate collection for the study of Master games with this theme. 1 game, 1988
