Learn How to Win Material: Discovered Attack
This middlegame puzzle from the Ruy Lopez shows how a tactical shot can override static evaluation.

The key idea is a forcing discovered attack that also exploits a pinned defender and a hanging piece. In classical chess, these motifs often appear together: one threat opens the line for another, and the opponent is left unable to defend everything at once.
