The Loaded Gun
Part of the Core Motifs section of Coddy's Tactics & Checkmates journey. Lesson 16 of 35.
Two of your pieces on one line, the rear one aimed at something valuable, is a loaded gun. Move the front piece and the rear one fires - and if the front piece makes a threat of its own on the way, they must answer two threats with one move. Whichever they answer, the other cashes.
