f4 pawn move creates enduring tactical theme

 

Double King Pawn openings have a notorious tactical character. Gary Sacco, a talented tactician at the Internet Chess Club based in Pennsylvania United States of America, fell prey to a vicious tactical shot after he played pawn to e5 attacking the Black f6 Horse.

Can you find the move that ignores this pseudo threat? Hint: White irreversibly weakened the DARK g1-a7 diagonal early in this double King Pawn opening. Some book authors refer to the theme as diagonal clearance based on a game ending  absolute pin!!!

Greed, Greed, Greed.....Lose, Lose, Lose

One of the seven deadly sins is Greed and chess psychologist Rowson expounds lucidly on the perils of not overcoming avarice in our beloved Royal Game pastime.

However, ICC user Missile14 apparently did not get the memo after getting splattered by the mating pawn move f6 in diagrammed position. The military jet fighter plane enthusiast was aiming for rapid consolidation with Nd6 with the goal of liquidating the powerful e4 Horse. In fact, Missile14 played Knight captures Knight after White played the overt checkmate move pawn to f6 pinning the g7 mating square pawn to the trepidating Black Monarch!  

Black could have played the desperate  Nf5 which only delays the mate or the calamitous loss of material. I think our military man was just assuming since he had an extra "do nothing" proverbial WHOLE ROOK on a8 square(not half mind you) that he would just win by swapping aka the Patzer's curse. 

I did find something about the Infrared Air Force FALCON homing missile14. 

BTW, a cat with a youtube channel called chess traps has a beautiful trap number 28 out of the Kings Gambit opening involving a knight on the grim rim and another fork winning Whites Queen!!!
