| Defense is needed in many games. No matter
how hopeless a position is, there is always a chance to offer resistance. When
your opponent is winning easily you should make it difficult for them. Hopefully
they will make a slip.
Take a look at the position. Pretend you're Black and its your move. You're
on the the ropes. You're king is weak and White is threatening to crash in with
1. Rh7+.
What would you play?
1...Qe5+ Superb!
This move forces off queens and now the Black king is well placed for the
ending instead of being attacked. A smart move!
Here are some quick tips on Defense in chess:
1. When getting attacked, swap off pieces.
2. Avoid back rank mate. Give your king an escape.
3. Don't give your opponent open lines.
