Session # 18
THE SKEWER

We continue with the skewer, although this tactic is more used in the endgame, it can be used in other phases as well. To do a skewer, we have to put the enemy king in check with a bishop, rook or queen, and once the king moves out of the way, we capture a piece that was behind the king.

Here, if the rook moves to a1 and puts the king in check, next move it will be able to take the knight behind

At the end of every session, we recommend pracicing and / or doing some chess puzzles. This site has chess puzzles and also a chess forum so you can chat with other players. http://www.chessnerds.com
