REMOVING THE GUARD OF A CHK SQ FROM MINED SQ
Compiled by notyetagm

One of my favorite tactics:

REMOVING THE GUARD OF A CHECKING SQUARE FROM A MINED SQUARE:

White wins with 1 ♖b7-b8!+- with the idea 1 ... ♖e8x♖b8 2 ♗d4x♗e5+ and then 3 ♗e5x♖b8, winning a clear piece.

35 Rd5xd6! removes defender of e5-chk sq from d6-mined sq
