STATIC CENTER
In the positions characterized by a blocked
7zp-+-snpvl-'
pawn structure in the center and the presence
of one open or half-open file the fight will take
6-+nwql+pzp&
place around the center of the board. Usually 5+p+psN-+-%
each opponent occupies one central square
(due to the pawn pairs d4-d5 or e4-e5), so who 4-+pzP-zP-+$
manages to control (or to occupy) the other 2
squares will have the upper hand.

THE ACTIVE SIDE will try to centralize the
2PzP-sN-vLLzP"
pieces (in order to control maximum number of 1tR-+QtR-mK-![
squares), then to start a wing attack:
- against the enemy king by a piece attack xabcdefghy

can arise) Nxf5 25.Ree1 d4 26.Ne4 d3 27.Rab1 Rb8
- on the queen side by a pawn attack (even a 28.Nc5 Qe7 29.Qc6 Bg8 30.Ne4 Qa3

THE DEFENDING SIDE must fight for the 1-0
central squares and to chase opponent's pieces
out. We must stress here that a wing attack can
take place to compensate opponent's superiority B08
in the center (due to the stable position in the Short,Nigel D 2575
