Attack with maximum force. Try to bring as many pieces as possible to the attack.
Try to open lines (files and diagonals) for your attacking pieces to gain entry to the opposition position.
Rook --> Open files; Bishop --> Open diagonals
The most powerful attack is when you attack the enemy King.
Strong control of the centre is required before you launch an attack. Centralize your pieces.
Try to gain a space advantage by bringing all your pieces to good squares. If any of your pieces are not doing anything useful, try to bring them to good squares.
While attacking, play in such a way as to create continuous difficulties to the opponent. Set difficult problems to the opponent by tactics.
