Emphasizing energetic development and active minor piece play in the opening and middlegame is certainly a good idea -- however don´t forget about attacking with your pawns! There is a very fine balance in the early opening and early middlegame between using your pieces to develop quickly and aggressively attacking your opponent with your pawns early in the game. In the below chess video excerpt from the chess DVD ¨Middlegame Pawn Play for Mate¨ by IM Dr. Danny Kopec, viewers are treated to a wonderful example of how to punish an opponent who is overly aggressive with his pawns in the opening. IM Kopec explains powerful attacking themes in an explosive win over Grandmaster Alexander Ivanov -- instructively demonstrating how he was able to punish his opponent´s provocative opening play with direct development and a very creative piece sacrifice!
