COMBINATIONS AND MATINO ATTACKS AtiAlNST THE KING IN THE CENTtR. Castllnu is usually almost, essential, but It does not invariably enhance the king a safety.
Often the king in the center stands as well as or even better than on the wing, the main idea in castling being the development of the rook. We shall consider today a few situations In which castling actually endangers the king's security. The study of combinations themselves and the study of positions from which combinations arise, are of equal Impor tance. DIAGRAM 1 i. jM Mi ; ....
23 The black king is very badly placed ' in the center, far both center files are open. Definitely otherwise in Dlasram 2 Here both the center files are open. White's king is safe. Black's in the greatest peril, for It is not even ready to castle.
This is how the position has arisen: 1. P-K4. P-QB.tl 2. P-OI. P-Qi 3. KI-QB3. PPl 4. KtP, KKl-Bt: 5, 0-03, P-Kli 6. PsP, Q-Ktrh; 7. B-Q!, OxKPi 8. O-O-O. Not only Black's kmg, but his queen, too. Is badly placed: she has ventured too early Into the fray and is open to attack. His queen moves, Q-R4ch and . . . QxKPi have wasted time so that he is behind in development. All these circumstances combine to make it hwhly probable that the position holds a combination While realises this well, as his last move 8. O-O-Ol shows. If now 8. . . . QxKt? then 9. R-Kl would win the queen. If. on the other hand 8. . . . KtxKt? we have the marvelous combination !). Q-Q8ch! KxQ; 10. B-KI5 double check, followed by mate throueh 11.
B-Q8 mate or 11, R-Q8 mate, accnrdinit to the move of the kine. Had White not perceived this combination, he would not have dared to casile and would have been in a difficult, position.
