What is a defensive move?
Defensive puzzles ask you to hold, not to win: find the only move that parries the threat, escapes the net or forces perpetual resources for the defender.
How to spot it
Identify the opponent’s real threat first, then search for replies that neutralize it while conceding the least — counter-attacks and in-between checks included.
What this set trains
These sets build resilience under pressure — the skill that saves half-points and punishes overextended attacks.
