Learn How to Win Material: Four Knights Game
This puzzle comes from the Four Knights Game and shows a classic middlegame tactical motif: using a forcing move to expose a loose piece and win material. White’s pieces are active, the black king is still uncastled, and the black queen is overextended on the kingside. In positions like this, the best practical move often improves development while creating a direct threat. The key is to notice how one active bishop can increase pressure on the center and force the opponent into a defensive sequence.
