Watch your tactics

Submitted by rubyflyer on Sun, 11/16/2008 at 3:58pm.

Before you execute a tactic, you should check it. If it goes against you, you probably shouldn't use it. Here's an example. This puzzle is from the "The Usborne Internet-Linked Complete Book of Chess."

After solving this puzzle, check out the next position. It is very similar with a few differences.

(This should not be a puzzle. Just click solution.) As you can see, you should check your tactics!

Thanks for that. These puzzles and annotations are really useful for me, as I'm still learning the game!

Very nice example. I liked the puzzle. Everything looked so great in the 2nd one, except for that check.
