Frequently Asked Questions
How should I calculate before clicking a move on the tactics board?
Use the Checks, Captures, Threats (CCT) scan: examine every forcing check first, then every undefended or overloaded enemy piece, and verify the opponent's sharpest reply before moving.
What is the difference between a Pin and a Skewer?
A pin attacks a lower-value or royal-shielding piece in front of a higher-value piece (like pinning Qd7 to Ke8), whereas a skewer attacks the higher-value piece in front (like checking Ke7 to win Qh7 behind it).
How does Anastasia's Mate work?
A Knight on e7 controls the g8 and g6 escape squares while the opponent's own g7 pawn blocks sideways flight, allowing a Rook or Queen along the open h-file to deliver checkmate.
