Best move here is h4, sacrificing a pawn. How can I find it in game ?
I am around 1900 elo OTB (and 1900 blitz on chess.com). This position came up in a classical game OTB this morning (wing gambit in the french was played).
While I understand that h4 will give us a strong diagonal for the black bishop, I still don't see how anyone can find this move (I was already down a pawn due to the gambit). This sacrifices a pawn for nothing basically ! Curious if anyone would see this move as obvious when considering it ? I played Re1 instead (also a good move)
