When we think about cooperation of pieces, we usually think of middlegame tactics.
In the following game, however, White's pieces work well together, while Black's pieces seem to ignore each other.
Wall, Bill - Dasasary
sparkchess, 2025
1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5 4.Bxf7+
4...Kxf7 5.Nxe5+ Nxe5 6.Qh5+ Ng6
7.Qd5+ Ke8 8.Qxc5 d6 9.Qh5 Nf6
Or 9...Qe7 as in Wall,B - Zulfikar, sparkchess, 2024 (1-0, 29)
10.Qb5+
Or 10.Qe2 as in Wall,B - Guest1475978, playchess.com, 2013 (1-0, 28)
10...c6 11.Qe2 Qb6 12.d3 Kf7 13.O-O Re8 14.Nd2 Bg4 15.Qe1 Kg8
White continues to patiently develop.
16.h3 Be6 17.Nf3 h6 18.b3 Rf8 19.a4 Nd7 20.a5 Qc5 21.b4
Usually the center pawns are referred to as the "Jerome pawns"; in this case, the wing pawns take on the task of advancing and harassing.
Black's response is to sacrifice against White's pawn cover.
21...Qh5 22.Nd4 Bxh3 23.gxh3
Things fizzle out. To be played was 23...c5 24.bxc5 dxc5 25.Nf5 Rae8 and Black's development is overwhelming.
24.Qe3 Qg4+ 25.Qg3 Qxg3+ 26.fxg3 Rxf1+ 27.Kxf1 Nde5
28.Be3
A couple move later, White played the disruptive a5-a6, which also could be tried here.
28...Rf8+
In turn, Black had the preventative 29...a6.
29.Ke2 Ng4
As above.
30.a6
Leading to the disruption of Black's Queenside.
30...Nxe3 31.Kxe3 b6 32.Nxc6 Rc8 33.Nxa7 Rxc2 34.Nb5 Rc8 35.a7 Ra8 36.Nc7 Black resigned
