INTRO

WHY BRILLIANT?

Nb6+ was brilliant. The knight was checking the king while revealing an attack towards the unprotected black queen. So black can only capture with axb7 (cxb7 does not work because the pawn is pinned) (My opponent chose to move his king instead of capturing)

BEWARE!

So that was it happy.png Always remember to keep alert when our major pieces or the king is lined up with our opponent's pieces. They can always perform discovered attack or discovered check. If your opponent had their major piece lined up with your piece, keep an eye on discovered attacks and discovered checks. You can always win material - and obtain brilliant moves!

Here is an example of a very nice discovered check opening discovered by me that you might can win your opponent's queen, if they blundered (and they often do). Check it out!
