    Double Attack

    Uploaded by

    Verkey Dan
    The document introduces the chess tactic of a double attack, where a single piece simultaneously attacks two enemy units. It uses examples to demonstrate how the queen, with its wide range of movement, is well-suited for delivering double attacks. The first example shows a queen delivering checkmate on the king while also attacking an unprotected knight. Subsequent examples illustrate how a queen can activate to both parry a threat and pose new threats of its own, eventually arriving at a position where the queen can deliver a double attack on the king and rook.

    Double Attack

    Hi, how are you doing today? Hope you are keeping well! I
    would like to take two minutes of your time to discuss
    something interesting to you and me. I am talking about Chess.
    Today, we are going to introduce a new tactical instrument
    known as -Double attack. This type of attack - simultaneous
    attack by a single unit on two hostile units - is the very
    essence of chess.
    The Queen, with her wide cruising range and ability to attack in
    several directions by vertical, lateral, and diagonal moves, is
    the ideal piece for the double attack.
    A Fork, a double attack, is particularly dangerous. Let's see a
    position. In this position Black can win with enough fire power
    against Queen, Rook and Bishop. But White's next move
    dampened all the dreams of Black. Can you find the move?
    Yes, you are right. The White Queen moves to d4 and it's a
    double attack - a checkmate threat on g7 and an attack on the
    Knight sitting supportless at square a7. Black has to give up
    his Knight as he has to save his King from the checkmate
    attack.
    Then White should win in this position with his strong d6 pawn
    and fire-power of White Queen. This is a very simple single
    move double attack problem - a fork by the Queen that we
    solved. Now you understand what's a Double Attack.
    To reinforce our knowledge about double attack, let's check
    one more position. In this position, white is dangerously
    constrained in the back rank, and Black is threatening mate by
    Rook on g1. Is there any way, White can save his King? Yes, of
    course, It is White to move....
    Yes, White can activate his Queen by playing her to d4. White
    not only parries the threat of checkmate on g1, but the Queen
    at d4 poses threats to Black's Rook and Knight. Now Black
    needs to save his pieces from Queen fork.
    The best remedy for Black is to bring the Knight close to King at
    the square b4 where the King can support his Knight.
    White should keep on attacking the Black King till the time a
    fork between King and Rook comes through because the Rook
    is sitting supportless far away from the Back King. It's possible
    in this wide open board, because the Queen is such a versatile
    powerful piece.
    Now a transition happens. In case the Black King moves to b3
    square, there is a Queen fork at h3 - an attack on the King at b3
    and the Black Rook at g2 simultaneously.
    So the Black King goes to a5. Queen d8 check. Black King
    moves to b5. Queen b8 check and King to c4. Queen f4 check;
    King to c5. Qf8+ Black King to c4 and the Queen gives double
    attack on the Black King and the Rook on f1. And Black resigns.
    We have seen the Power of Queen in the open Board for giving
    double attack. Learn this tactical device, you are going to win
    more games and get more rating points.
    Thanks for watching this short video. Hope you have learned
    something today. Keep visiting here and keep updating your
    chess wisdom. My name is Varghese, I am a FIDE approved
    Trainer and an Arbiter. Please feel free to ask any questions
    relevant to chess and I will be happy to respond.
