Chess Strategy: How to Attack Successfully

 When do we start an attack?

A very common mistake that chess players make, and not just beginners, is that they start attacking from very early opening. In the opening we should develop, in the middlegame we need to attack, and at endgame we need to promote pawn into a new queen. How is it possible to start an attack if we have not developed all our pieces? In order to have a succesful attack you must have active pieces. The activity (well-developed) pieces can give you right to attack.

The Attack Takes Place in the Middlegame

Last but not least, when attacking it is very important bring the strongest pieces into the attack, ie the Queen or the Rooks. Bring the Queen in the "penalty area", ie close to the enemy King.
