Learn How to Spot a Mate in 2: Discovered Attack
This middlegame puzzle is a classic example of a discovered attack turning into a forcing mating net. White’s active pieces coordinate against the black king, and the key idea is that one tactical move can open lines while also creating a direct threat on the kingside. In positions like this, material count matters less than king safety and piece activity. The defender is overloaded, and the attack works because the opponent cannot meet every threat at once.
