In the previous episode, we talked about the cooperation between the pieces. The pieces can work together in different ways. When two pieces both target a weak point in the enemy camp, it is a form of cooperation. Covering important squares, preferably in the enemy camp, can also be seen as a form of cooperation.

In the rather chaotic diagram position we see that White has three very active pieces while the black pieces on the queenside do not exactly make a harmonious impression.

White can exploit this factor in an original way. Do you see a promising continuation for White, that makes use of this factor and that makes the white pieces cooperate really well?
