Here are a few tactics puzzles which use a tactical motif called the 'X-ray Attack'. Hopefully, by the end of this page, you'll be familiar enough to identify an X-ray Attack in the future.

Please Note - Some of the opponent's moves may not be the absolute best moves. However, they are natural moves which neatly illustrate this motif.
