C) The Minority Attack
More often than not, you want to get your own
pawn-majority moving. But it can also be advantageous
to operate against the other wing instead,
in order to open lines there and weaken
the enemy's compact structure.

A.Alekhine - M.Euwe
The Hague Wch (27) 1935
The natural activation of the pawn-majority
with 1 c4?! .!:r.c8 2 .!:r.cl @f8 3 c5? bxc5 4 bxc5
@e7 does not work here, since the black king
helps to stop the c-pawn. So Alekhine decides
on the plan of capturing the black queenside
pawns:
1 .!:r.d7! .!:r.c8 2 .!:r.xa7 .!:r.xc3 3 .!:r.a8+
The suggestion by Levenfish and Smyslov of
3 @e2 can be parried by, for example, 3 ... .!:r.c2+
4 @d3 .!:r.xg2 5 @c4 g5 6 Wb5 g4 7 fxg4 .!:r.xg4,
throwing a spanner into White's works, whilst
Black can gain counterplay with his own passed
pawn: 8 a4 rs 9 .!:r.e7 f4 10 .!:r.xe6 f3 =.

J.Capablanca - D.Janowski
New York 1913
With the typical g4-g5 Capablanca opens invasion-routes
for his pieces and creates targets
on the kingside:
1 g4! b6 2 b4 @b7 3 @f2 b5 4 a4!?
Capablanca proceeds according to the principle
that you should not rush and first he fixes
the queenside as favourably as possible, before
resuming his attack on the kingside.
