Recap, then train your eyes
Spot tactics fast — with practice.
You've got the four big ones: take what's HANGING, FORK two targets with one piece, SKEWER a piece to win what's behind it, and PIN a piece so it can't move. The thread through all of them is piece vision — before every move, look at every check and capture.
Tactics only win games if you SEE them in time, and that's pattern recognition built by reps. Train a stream of beginner-friendly tactics; the ones you miss come back until they click.
- Hanging piece, fork, skewer, pin — your everyday material-winners.
- Every move: scan checks and captures first.
