Learn How to Use a Discovered Attack: Crushing Tactic
This puzzle is a classic middlegame example of a discovered attack combined with a pin and a forcing check. The key idea is that one piece is blocking a stronger line of attack, so moving it creates a direct threat on a high-value target. Here, the position is tactically loaded: the opponent’s king safety is already under pressure, and a single forcing move can expose a major piece while keeping the initiative firmly in White’s hands.
