Distractions

18/2/2013

 
We have an amazingly talented group of very young players at chess kids who are currently in our under 8 squad which meets on a Monday at 5.15pm.  For the past couple of weeks these kids have been working on tactics, and they're beginning to look at some more advanced ones such as "distractions". A distraction is where we get one of our opponent's pieces to move away from defending an important spot. In the first week we looked at distracting a king from protecting it's queen, while this week we looked at distracting pieces from protecting the back rank. The most famous distraction is in the following position.
