Easy Way to Defend f7-Attacks

[@sneakep]

how do you defend if you don't want to trade rook and pawn for knight and bishop?

[@chengx]

Thanks for the comment. Pawn d5 is another way to block. But castle and using the rook to protect is better. Trading rook+pawn for knight+bishop is better for black in this position

The problam arrives when you can't castle

[@chengx]

yes. that's why developing pieces early is very important

[@f2cl596]

Simple just castle

[@chengx]

yes, always castle early
