For those of you who have been with us for a while, you know that attacking a castled position usually requires open lines so your pieces can attack the king's position and often requires the sacrifice of a piece, sometimes two or three, to expose the king for the remaining attacking pieces. Of course, on every move, you want to look for checks and captures and forcing moves, as an old master, Sol Wanetick, once told me.

Get your thinking caps on and get to work!
