{DER MINORITAETSANGRIFF In der folgenden Partie werden wichtige strategische Momente des Minoritätsangriffs (oder Minderheitsangriff) anschaulich demonstriert. Minoritätsangriff heisst dieses Vorgehen deswegen, weil - in diesem Beispiel - zwei weisse Bauern auf drei schwarze losgehen, um Linien zu öffnen oder Schwächen im gegnerischen Lager zu erzeugen. Er ergibt sich, wenn der Gegner durch einen Bauernzug eine Angriffsmarke gegeben hat. Dieses strategische Verfahren kommt in der Abtauschvariante des Damengambits häufiger vor, kann sich aber auch bei ähnlichen Bauernstrukturen aus der Grünfeldindischen-,Caro-Kann- oder Nimzowitsch-Indischen Verteidigung ergeben.
