    White has positioned their minor pieces on the kingside to launch an attack on Black's king. The move 14. h3 prepares to push the pawn to g5, threatening to capture on e6 and break up Black's center. It also introduces the possibility of trapping Black's queen's pawn if they advance it to a4. In response, Black moves their king to h8 to avoid any attacks coming with check from g5 or captures on e6 or f6.

    I hope you are starting to see a pattern in White’s play.

    His queenside minor pieces have reached the


    kingside and are ready to take part in a concerted attack on the black king.
    Whilst objectively speaking Black might be OK, it’s not much fun for him to watch his opponent
    lining up all his pieces against his king, with only some queenside play as compensation.

    13... c8 14. h3

    Question: What is the purpose of this move?

    Show/Hide Solution

    Answer: After 14. g5 d4 Black has nothing to fear. For example, if 15. h5? h6 16. g4 hxg5
    17.hxg5 White might hope to strike a decisive blow with ideas of f6+ or e4, g2 and h1. But this
    is all a mirage as 17...g6! kills off the attack.
    The general idea behind 14. h3 is to put pressure on e6 and introduce the motif of g5 and xe6 to
    destroy Black’s centre. Here there is also a more concrete reason for the bishop move: for example, if
    Black continues pushing queenside pawns with 14...a4 then 15. g5 suddenly has more potency as
    15... d4 16.c3 f5? 17. xf5 exf5 18.e6! fxe6 19. xe6 wins the exchange.
    Brandenburg therefore decides on a different defensive plan against White’s attacking idea. First of
    all he puts his king on h8 to avoid any g5, xe6 and xe6 idea coming with check. It is also good to
    rule out any sacrifice of a knight on f6 being with check.

    14... h8 15. g5
