Here you see FREDDIE, GERRY and HARRY. Their job is to protect the King. They must stay on guard duty, without moving unless they have to. Because... ![]() |

Can you find a move for White which PINS the Black Knight on f6 to the Black Queen?

6. Bc1-g5 Nf6-g4. Black's THREATENING f2! Are you scared by this? How would you continue? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

A few questions on this position. See if you can visualise what's going to happen without moving the pieces. If Black plays Nf6xd5 would you play ... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Of course you'd take the Queen, wouldn't you? And if Black, scared of the PIN, played Qd8-d7 what would you play? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

So White plays Nf3-h4, and now suppose Black plays Nc6-a5 to try to get rid of the Bishop. What would you play next? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

OK, White plays Qd1-f3, and Black, who hasn't seen what's coming, plays Na5xc4, giving the position on your left. Now what? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

White plays Qf3-g3+ giving Black no choice: Kg8-h8. How does White finish off? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

And there we have it: the KISS OF DEATH!! If you learn this attacking idea you'll win SO MANY GAMES!! Now we'll go back a few moves and look at another plan. ![]() |

Again, Black has to take with the Pawn, so he has a DOUBLE FREDDIE. Gerry has again moved away, and changed his name to Freddie. This time our target for the Queen (Burglar Bill!) is the Pawn on f6. ![]() |

It's White's turn. What would you suggest? ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

It's another KISS OF DEATH - but this time on h7, not g7. Again, learning this idea will bring you so many victories. But before we leave you, let's go right back... ![]() |
