Jul-22-05		nasmichael: Pulling attacks in the Indian Defense. --The flip side of the coin of attacking games, pulling an opponent into a square for a tactic is harder to see (I think) than pushing your opponent into a square so as to attack them. One deals with material, the other with space. Attacking by vacating squares is dealt with by discovered attacks, but not so much as a concept by itself. Take the ending of the game, Rxf3 and black resigns. It is a fork, yes, and the queen must leave the board now--but to see that some moves before, and plan for it, takes a different kind of vision than I have encountered by many teachers of the game. Perhaps it is easier to discuss material to the initiate player. However, I like this game because the way in which white and black attack each other, offering pieces which cannot be ignored. Flear, who also plays the Budapest gambit, is referred to in several games by Bogdan Lalic in his book on the gambit. Both play in England. As for Pritchard, he is the author of The Encyclopedia of Chess Variants, and his experience in this arena of chess history gives him opportunity to explore different ways of attacking. Interesting game.

Jul-22-05		samvega: If I recall, the Encyclopedia of Middle Games uses the term Decoy, distinct from the term Deflection, for the tactic you are refering to. Tell me, after 29..Rxc8, which side would you have evaluated as better? 31.Ne4 impressed me: 31..Qxe5 32.Nd6 is a combined discovery, dbl attack and interference!
