A queenside attack targets a king castled long or presses against the a-, b-, and c-file pawns. Because the king on c1 or c8 stands closer to the open a-file than a kingside king stands to the h-file, queenside attacks often break through faster than they look.
Check the a- and b-files for the possibility of opening a line with a pawn sacrifice. Attacks against a long-castled king usually start by prising open a file rather than by sacrificing on a square.
