Learn How to Mate in 2: X-Ray Attack
This chess puzzle is a classic example of a forcing tactical finish in the middlegame, where king safety matters more than material. White’s pieces are coordinated to exploit the enemy king’s exposed lines, and the key idea is an x-ray attack: one piece attacks through another, creating a hidden threat on the king behind it. In positions like this, the strongest move often works because it forces a response and removes a defender at the same time.
