Tactics Quiz 2
This week we challenge you with ten more tactics problems with motifs including double attacks, discovered attacks, and some not so obvious attacks! Thanks to Richard James and his awesome site ChessKIDS.com for providing the positions for this week's Tactics Quiz.
If the White pieces are at the bottom of the diagram it's White's move. If the Black pieces are at the bottom of the diagram it's Black's move. Answers to these problems vary from winning a minor piece (a knight or bishop) to forcing mate. Solutions are at the end of the quiz. Let us know how you do! Good Luck!
