In this video, GM Susan Polgar reveals the building blocks of tactical patterns and shows how to find winning combinations.
Finding tactics during games is often more difficult than finding them during puzzles as we don’t always know there’s a tactic to be found. However, there are certain ‘clues’ in chess positions, which can point towards possible tactics.
One of these is the presence of an unprotected piece. GM John Nunn coined the phrase “loose pieces drop off” (often referred to as LPDO) to remind players that an unprotected/loose piece is a serious weakness. There are many situations where we can combine threats to take advantage of loose pieces.
Another theme in this video (which is a preview of Susan Polgar’s 15 hour Secrets of Chess Tactics for Beginners) is the importance of considering our opponent’s strongest response. Many moves appear tempting because they make a major threat and some, obvious responses lose. However, we must presume our opponent will play well and find the best reply, otherwise we’re playing what Dan Heisman calls “hope chess”.
Susan shows how to put ourselves in our opponent’s position to find possible counter-attacks. If we find one, we must reject our move. However, it doesn’t mean that there isn’t still a winning move available. Often strong positions have many possibilities. Some work, some don’t. By finding counters for our opponent, we can narrow down our list of moves to choose from.
Then Susan reveals another move-finding technique: the what-if method. This involves looking at the position and asking “what if…” to see if it prompts any ideas. For instance, you might see that you could win material with a discovered check if you could move a pawn forward - but the pawn is currently blocked by an enemy pawn. So you think “what if that pawn wasn’t there?” and find ways to either win material or force it to move (capture a piece it was defending).
This video will help you find tactical patterns (like forks, pins and skewers) in more complicated game situations.

Outstanding position chosen for this video. Well explained. Thank you Susan.
Thanks Susan Polgar...very clear. I need tactics in middle game and end game.
At 16:09 black should not play qc6, because white night will fork it with check ne7
Chess is more fun now with your help.
That's what we try every single day! 🤓
The work behind all these positions and variants and solutions and giving it away so kindly for free... and still you have nine very unkind people not appreciating this... I wander what on earth do they want/need to be at least “neutrally happy” so as not to “dislike”... Sad people indeed...
Make this channel great again 🔥🔥🔥 Hai, from Bali GM Susan 😍🙏🇮🇩
All your videos very rich in substance and instructive for chess players like me.hope you can share more videos that would help us develop and improve our games.i admire you please share some videos.thank you
11:30 Vintage Susan. She will always be honest with you. :)
Great job, very clear. Wonderful
Good info! But I think it's more suitable to 1800's and up!
very informative
At 9:42 strong move is Qa3. If rook moves Queen goes down with check
That does not work because white Rook can move to c2 square, supporting the white Queen and making the black Queen vulnerable instead.
@@iChess2 Beloglavi Sup asked a great question. Talk about going to "unprotected" squares! ;-) 1 ... Qa3 was my first instinct too, and I failed to even consider 1 ... Qa6, whereas a Susan Polgar's first instinct (and a correct one at that) is the other way around. 1 ... Qa6 also goes to an unprotected square, but at least she wouldn't be subject to attack, but instead be in position to do the attacking. The presentation would have been richer if it had included a discussion on how a player could avoid blunders like 1 ... Qa3.
ALMOST does not work in chess and in life. Hats off
19:37 could white play Qa8 and get an advantage?
But Kh7 and black is winning also.
Nice,,,mam,,Susan ,,👍
nice thx
The text block view to the board mam...
Qc6 still gets forked with Ke7
I love Susan, but I didn't see how this presentation enables the player how to find winning combinations other than calculating.
I guess (actually it happened to me) that after you watch hundreds of instructive videos like this, you start seeing patterns/moves/solutions... it’s priceless!
everything is excellent except for that man who comments like demon. it is better not include him in the video
He is GM Damian Lemos
Very funny your comment
@@larissetv6424 every time i watch the video he startles me
in 16:10, Ne7 wins Q..
i didn't see it is a check..
Why do authors and video makers alike never turn the board around when the problem to be solved involves black to move.
Joss Cues so people know which way the pawns move immediately
