Exploiting weaknesses

By a weakness (or a weak point) we mean a square, or a pawn, which is not protected by a pawn. 
Such weaknesses often arise when a pawn is moved forward. However, they are only relevant if you (or your opponent) can exploit them. 
Weak squares constitute ideal positions for pieces. You should attempt to occupy such squares with your pieces. They are especially suitable for knights. But other pieces can also make successful use of these squares. You can attack other points in your opponent's position from these outposts.

Basic rules 
1) Provoke weak squares and try to occupy them with your own pieces! 
2) Exploit any weaknesses in the castled position for an attack on the king! 
3) As well as the king or unprotected pieces, pawns can also be objects to be attacked. Look for a weak point (weak pawn) in your opponent's position and attack it.

Attacking weaknesses 
Even though a direct attack does not always mean the gain of a pawn, an attack does however present you with certain advantages. 
1) Your opponent has to defend and is often forced to put his pieces in passive positions. Then you may employ other resources in order to crank up the pressure on the weakness. You will often find that manoeuvring (alternating attacks on the weakness or attacking from different sides or with different pieces) brings about the desired success. 
2) We enjoy greater freedom and we can also seek out other objects to attack. If we manage to provoke a second weakness and then alternate attacks on these weaknesses, then the defender is often stretched to breaking point.

Think ahead before moving pawns. Consider the implications of moving a pawn forward. Will it leave any squares vulnerable or undefended? If so, weigh the benefits of the pawn move against the potential weaknesses it may create.

To gain an advantage, focus on exploiting these vulnerabilities. Occupying weak squares, especially with knights, provides strategic positions. Provoke weak points, target unprotected pieces, and attack weaknesses in a castled position, forcing the opponent into defensive positions.
