KKt

After B-KKt5, the threat is to attack the Knight a second and third time with Kt-Q5, and Q-B3, after moving the KKt away.

QxB followed by P-KKt4! with an overwhelming attack.

The development of the KKt is not desirable at B3, where it would block the long diagonal.

Kt-B6ch, an instructive example of the weakness created by P-KKt3.

White should decline the doubtful gift and meet the threat of P-R3 and P-KKt4 with 19.

There only remains the KKt and the Q for an immediate attack, whilst the Black Rook will soon get into effective action on the open Knight's file, e.g. 5.

Black plays P-KKt3 with the same intention, White plays P-KR4-5 and PxP, and brings the Rook into play.

Another development might be conceivable for the Rooks; viz. on the KB file, and also the KKt or KR file; here, as we shall see, an occasion may arise for storming the opposing King's side by a pawn attack.

As Black's KKt is only supported twice, and there is no chance of bringing up more forces for its defence, Black must undertake something to provide against the threatened onslaught.

KKt, the co-operation of which is urgently needed in the centre.
