Chess Tactics - Introduction
This is a blog about chess tactics! Do read it and post your views.Hello everyone!
From today, I'm going to start a new blog series - Chess Tactics! So, what are Tactics? There are many ways to describe chess tactics, but perhaps the simplest way is to say that a chess tactic is a move (or series of moves) that brings an advantage to a player. This advantage can be material, like winning a piece, or even an attack that results in checkmate! Some of the basic tactics that we are going to see in this blog series are -
- Double attacks
- Forks
- Pins
- Skewers
- Discovered Attacks
- Decoys
- Remove The Defender
- Interference
- Trapped Pieces
- Promotion
- Intermediate moves
- Clearance
Some other types of tactics that we are going to learn in this series are -
- Zwischenzug
- Zugzwang
- X-Ray attack
- Windmill
- Underpromotion
- Overloading
- And a few more!
