Learn How to Deflect the Queen: Tactical Refutation
This middlegame puzzle is a classic example of deflection: one piece is forced to move or capture, and that creates a tactical collapse elsewhere. The key idea is that a seemingly active defender is actually overloaded, so a forcing move can drag it away from its duty. In positions like this, the best continuation often wins material by exploiting a hanging piece and a skewer-like alignment rather than by direct attack alone.
