Pawn storms with opposite castling
Fischer in the Sicilian
When the kings castle on opposite sides, it becomes a race: you push your pawns at the enemy king to open files before they do.
Key ideas
- Push your h- and g-pawns toward the enemy king.
- Open files for your rooks and queen.
- Speed matters more than material: every tempo counts.
When to use it
In the Dragon Sicilian, the Yugoslav Attack and any opposite-side castling.
