The Backward Attacking and Defending Move

The Backward Attacking and Defending Move

Only Chess



A new and amazing idea for future chess puzzles.
This one is going to make me richer than Musk.

Puzzles. Here is one of them, R. Knaak - K. Litkiewicz German Ch. 1974 (Black to play)


Black has a simple idea based on the fact the a4 Knight is being protected by the Queen.
Does 1...Nxd4, 2...Rxc1, 3...Qxa4 not just win a good central pawn. Yes? No? Perhaps?

The solution kicks off a mixture of OTB and RHP examples all featuring
the same easily missed move in the puzzle (that, by the way, is a clue.)
