Session - 6

 Hello fellow chess warriors! We are extremely delighted to present the 6th edition of the blog 

Agenda of today's session 

1. A theory session with Mr. Dhanasekar

2. Friendly practice session with fellow mates 

 Notes 

Double attack: 

The double attack is a very fundamental tactic in chess. Learning what it is and how to take advantage of it can be the difference between winning or losing a chess match 

: - A double attack happens when a single move by a player creates two simultaneous threats against their opponents. Different from the fork, those threats can be not only a direct attack but a stealthy and indirect attack. It can be significant in creating a checkmate. 


Forked and Discovered attacks: 

 In a position given below, a double attack creates multiple or double attacks with a single move, while a fork arises when a single piece threatens two spaces at the same time while in the case of a discovered attack, a direct attack is revealed when one piece moves out of the way of another. This is one of the most powerful tactics in chess and can turn the tide of a game when implemented properly. 



Fork attack: The knight is targeting the king, and the queen and is in the check. 




Discovered attack: Here in this position given above, the knight is moved, and the king is given the check and rook gives a direct attack to the queen.  

3) . The three targets in Double attack: 

In the double attack, we have three very important targets: 

1. Material + Material 

2. Material + King 

3. Material + Mating square 

3 i ) Material + Material 
In this context, the target is referring to that if two pieces are attacked at one time, it's a form of double attack. 

3 ii) Material + King 
In this context, the king and material are being double attacked. 

3 iii) Material + Mating square:
In this context, means that materials as well as a check mating square is being threatened.
