Developing level — for improving club and online players
Tactics that hide behind one preparatory move: a check, a capture or a threat that clears the way for the real blow.
How to train at this level
Before each attempt, list every check, capture and threat for both sides. Most misses at this level come from skipping the opponent’s best defensive reply, so verify the line one ply deeper than feels necessary.
