Nunn in Secrets of Practical Chess, "The main factor governing the success of an attack on the enemy King is whether you can bring more attacking pieces to bear on his King position than he can muster for the defense."
Thus, a better plan is to bring the Queen and Rooks to the g-file which leads right into the enemy King.

21 QxP??? [0-1]Shipman in Portable Chess Coach, "Avoid impulsive and snap judgments. A single hasty move can lose a game you spent hours trying to win."
Some classical examples of such blind spots are Alekhine vs Euwe in the 1937 World Championship Match where World Champion Euwe blundered a Knight, Petrosian vs Bronstein in the 1956 Candidates Match where then future World Champion Petrosian blundered a Queen, and Fisher vs Larsen in Santa Monica 1963 where then future World Champion Fischer blundered a Rook.

Chernev in Logical Chess, "Develop pieces with a view to controlling the center, either by occupying it or bearing down on it from a distance, as fianchettoed bishops do."

Tarrasch in The Game of Chess, "It is best, in the opening, to make but one move with the Queen, and that to a square where she is not exposed to any direct or indirect attack, so especially not to a file in which there is an opposing Rook, no matter how many men may be in between."
7 ... O-O

Reinfeld in The Complete Chess Player, "Don't attack prematurely. An attack should be undertaken, as a rule, only when one's development has been completed or well advanced."
And Weeramantry & Eusebi wrote in Best Lessons of a Chess Coach, "Development is not complete until Rooks ar connected."

Completing one's development before attacking sounds like Matthew 6:33, "Seek first the Kingdom and the righteousness of God and all these things shall be yours as well."
8 ... BxP?The premature pawn advance created a "hole" on the f3 square which is available for the dark knight. But Justin missed the royal fork and an outright win.
