What is a hanging piece?
A hanging piece is simply an enemy unit left undefended or under-defended. The tactic is direct: attack it faster than it can be saved, or capture it outright.
How to spot it
Every move, scan all enemy pieces and count their defenders. Puzzle positions hide the loose piece behind a distracting threat or an inviting but inferior alternative.
What this set trains
This set trains the discipline of the loose-piece scan — the cheapest rating points available to any improving player.
