Defense: Trading

If your opponent uses a double attack against you, you have a problem. How can you defend both of your pieces in one move? Trading one of your pieces can sometimes come in handy. After the exchange, you have time to save the other piece.

Look at the examples to see how it works.

What do you have to do?

Trade pieces in order to avoid material loss.

Ask yourself these two questions:

• Which pieces are attacked?
• Which attacked piece is in for a trade?
