Learn How to Gain an Advantage: Elephant Gambit
This classical chess puzzle is a middlegame example where king safety outweighs material. White’s pieces are active, but the exposed king and loose defenders create a tactical net that can be exploited with forcing play. The key idea is to use a checking move to drag the king into a worse square, then continue with another forcing attack that keeps the defender overloaded. Patterns like discovered attack, pin, and trapped piece often appear together in positions like this.
