For the ambitious yet practical 1.d4 player:Attack With Harry The H-Pawn And
Beat Annoying Kingside Fianchetto Defenses
Do you struggle against Black’s fianchetto defenses?
If so, you’re not alone.
Visit any chess forum and you’ll find battered 1.d4 players grumbling about Black’s hyperactive pieces — while theirs struggle to keep the center together. Others can’t exploit their extra space, so their opening advantage evaporates. And many are overwhelmed by the deluge of theory.
But don’t worry. All of that is going to change, because…
Grandmaster Simon Williams (2005 British Blitz Champion) and
International Master Richard Palliser (2006 British Rapidplay Champion) will show you how to beat fianchetto defenses by launching Harry the h-pawn.
Whenever these two British champs work together, the results have always been stellar. Palliser delivers airtight analysis, while Williams presents them in a digestible and actionable manner like no other. No wonder they have earned
over 3,900 four-to-five star ratings from satisfied students.
This time, they explore the line
1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 g6and give you a move-by-move guide to…
Outplay The Grünfeld, King’s Indian Defense, Modern
And Their Cousins With 3.h4!?
Fianchetto defenses experience a “power spike” only if they reach their desired setup — with a safe king and a monster bishop that lords over the long diagonal.
The Harry Attack: Fighting Kingside Fianchettos After 1.d4 cuts through this plan by harassing the enemy kingside at the first opportunity.
At the time of writing, 3.h4 has been played only around 100 times in grandmaster games. So club-level opponents are highly unlikely to have seen it… let alone prepare for it.
With the element of surprise in your favor, you might just win the game before the opening is over!
But don’t think, even for a moment, that
The Harry Attack is just a one-trick pony.
Your h-pawn’s advance came with
three threats. So even with best play, Black will have to concede valuable ground to avert an early disaster.
From h4, your pawn can push to the fifth rank, and distract the enemy knight away from the center. It can take on g6 — giving you a ready-made attack down the h-file. Or… it can press on to h6 and suffocate the entire enemy kingside!
Best part: you’ll know exactly which threat to execute to tip the game to your favor.
