Academy | Tactics | Targets | Clusters
Sometimes, two or more potential tactical targets in a position form a cluster, and you may be able to exploit the cluster by rearranging the targets using various tactical motifs. This idea is best explained with an example.
1. Qh8+ attracts the Black king to h8, then 1… Kxh8 2. Nxf7+ forks the Black king and queen.
When we spot a cluster of targets, we can explore ways to exploit them using tactical motifs.
