Spot the attacks

Tactics · Lesson 2 of 17

What it’s about

  1. Collect every capture before you pick one: which enemy pieces can your pieces reach?
  2. Then check each target: is it defended and does your king stay safe? Look for recaptures and compare piece values. Even a defended piece can be lost.
  3. Don’t forget the other side: which of your pieces is your opponent attacking right now?
