Line 18:
A pawn storm usually involves adjacent pawns on one side of the board—the [[chess terminology#Queenside|queenside]] (a, b, and c [[chess terminology#File|files]]) or the [[chess terminology#Kingside|kingside]] (f, g, and h files).
Often, a pawn storm will be directed toward the opponent's [[king (chess)|king]] after it has [[Castling|castled]] toward one side (e.g. [http://www.chessgames.com/perl/chessgame?gid=1008373 Fischer vs. Larsen, 1958]). Successive advances of the pawns on that side might rapidly cramp and overwhelm the opponent's position. A pawn storm might also be directed at [[Promotion (chess)|queening]] a [[passed pawn]]; the diagram at right is taken from a game in which [[Tigran Petrosian]] was playing the black pieces against [[Bobby Fischer]]. Over the next fourteen moves, Petrosian storms his a and b pawns down the a and b files, forcing Fischer to [[List of chess terms#Resign|resign]].
