Session # 9
OPENED FILE AND THE BATTERY

For the opened file, it is excellent to have one if we know how to use it. Think of an opened file as an entry into the enemy camp. An open file can be described as a file in which there are no pawns. We must do all that is possible to get the control of that file and keep it, because then it becomes a threat against our own army. This is the perfect place to make batteries.

We continue with the battery. It is used to give more power to a certain piece, we put to piece that has the same line of action, in the same line of action, in order to give more power to the piece in front. (examples of pieces having the same line of action: queen+bishop, bishop+bishop, queen+rook, rook+rook.
