It’s a weapon of choice for many World Champions from Tigran Petrosian to Magnus Carlsen.
That’s what Petrosian deployed to claim important victories against Spassky in the 1969 World Championship Match.
It is not an opening line, system, or a variation… but rather a very powerful middlegame strategy.
You guessed it… I’m talking about The Minority Attack.
The idea is simple, white is using its a and b pawns to undermine black’s strong queenside, creating weaknesses, generating activity, and ultimately winning the game.
It works on World Championship Matches and it works even better at the club level!
