Learn How to Deflect: Winning Material
This puzzle shows a classic deflection idea in the middlegame: one tactical move forces the king to step onto a vulnerable square, and that creates a follow-up that wins material. The position is built around activity, not a direct mating attack, so the key is to notice how Black’s pieces coordinate against White’s exposed king and loose bishop. In classical chess, these forcing sequences often outweigh static material because they change the whole evaluation immediately.
