Learn How to Use a Discovered Attack: Kingside Tactics
This middlegame puzzle comes from the Scotch Game and shows how a kingside attack can be built around a discovered attack. White’s pieces are active, but the key idea is not a direct checkmate; it is a tactical refutation that wins material by exploiting the enemy king’s position and an overloaded queen. When the opponent’s king is forced to respond to a threat, a second tactical point often appears on the board, and that is where the advantage becomes decisive.
