Discovered Check
Part of the Core Motifs section of Coddy's Tactics & Checkmates journey. Lesson 17 of 35.
When the rear piece of the battery aims at the king, the front piece is untouchable for one move: whatever it captures, they must answer the check first. So it takes the most expensive thing it can reach, lands where it is safe or threatens again, and comes home. A discovered check is a free move.
