Learn How to Deflection: Mate in 5
This chess endgame puzzle is a classic forcing attack built around deflection and king safety. White’s queen is active near the enemy king, and the key idea is to keep the monarch exposed while driving it onto vulnerable squares. In positions like this, the strongest moves are often checks that limit the king’s escape routes and force it into a mating net. The pattern rewards precise calculation, not material grabbing, and is a great example of a tactical refutation in classical chess.
