Pretty kingside pawn structure vs. a minor piece - 2008/05/25 16:21
I'd like some opinions. Here's the scenario:
Let's say you have castled King-side and you are presented with the opportunity to win a minor piece, but at the cost of screwing up your pretty pawn line that protects your King. Is it worth it?
More specifically, you go from having pawns on h7, g7, and f7 to having them on h7, f4, f6. In recompense you get a minor piece.
At the point at which you have to make this decision, you are even in material with your opponent. And... your opponent does not appear to have an imminent attack waiting.
Whaddya think?
