Test Exercises

article to show you how to pursue tactical studies further.

pawn fork 1. d6, but Black can play 1...Nxd6 and capture the pawn. Can
White follow up with a devastating second move? [Solution]

Exercise 6: Examine the board below. Can you find White's
devastating discovered attack? [Solution]
