Winning Chess Tactics "The Decoy"

One of the last tactics that Yasser Seriwan taught was "The Decoy" The title probably gives it up, but this is the most satisfying trick in chess. This also makes the game go by faster too. Yasser Seriwan states "The idea is simple: If you find yourself wishing that one of your opponent's pieces were on a particular square, you must find a way to force him to move there." Decoy is a tactic involving a sacrifice to force the opponent's piece to the poisoned square.

In this picture, you can see that the bishop was moved right next to the king. So, the point is that the opponent attacks the bishop and will be inset for a plan to get checkmated.

One of the fundamentals of chess his to make sacrifices and this tactic of sacrifice is perfection. I have been doing this tactic for a while and it works. Yasser also added "...it's often useful to visualize the position you want and then do your best to create it (always bearing in mind that your opponent will not willingly cooperate). Naturally, the sacrifice is the prettiest kind of decoy. However, some other enticement will often do the trick." This trick is one of the best is so when playing chess this will do the trick and takes the least amount of time.
