To the benefit of us all let's share our most memorable aha-erlebnis in chess.
For me it must've been rooklifts.I learned quickly rooks belong on open files and also had little problems sacrificing rooks to open lines and/or remove defenders.But what really improved my game a lot was when I suddenly realised that,instead of letting my rooks just sit on the first rank of those files untill an opportunity to sac them arose,I could(and should) lift them so they gain greater power and can be added to the attack.
What a glorious moment that was 😉

Originally posted by KatastroofAh, that's fine. I actually get a kick out of some of these expressions. And because of the "aha", I sort of guessed correctly, anyway. But I did want to look it up to be sure.
