Some bird attack

Post by xr_a_y »

I always play the weak f5 as white in bullet games. If black is playing a pre-establish plan without taking what white is doing and castle king side, this gives good (and fun) attack opportunities.

Of course, this is bullet only tricks, because most attacks involve some totally crazy sacrifices, only relying on surprise effect.
Often there is a bishop sac on h7 or/and on h6, a knight sac near king, and sometimes also a rook sac to totally break the pawn shield.

I've played many many games like those, and it's so fun I cannot even think of playing something else as white in bullet now :lol: .

Here are some example
