Pawn Storm

A pawn storm is rolling your pawns forward en masse at the enemy king to rip open its shelter. It's the standard plan in opposite-side-castling positions: throw the pawns in front of where the enemy king lives, open a file, and invade. You usually ignore the pawns' own safety — speed of attack is everything.
