What is Principle Of Two Weaknesses?

The Principle Of Two Weaknesses in chess is a strategy that involves creating and exploiting two separate weaknesses in your opponent's position. The concept advocates that one weakness is often insufficient to win, as the defender may be able to adequately cover it. However, two weaknesses usually stretch the defender's resources, making it difficult for them to guard both concurrently. Therefore, the attacker makes progress as they oscillate between pressuring the two weaknesses.
