Thanks to our sponsor, Houston, who says: ""Finegold’s rules are important for helping us understand and remember themes with chess positions. f3 exposes the diagonal to the king (never play f3). Kb1 protects the pawn on a2 and gets the king to a safer square (always play Kb1). I don't understand what makes exf5 a good move".
