Happy International Chess Day everybody! Let's continue the puzzle road with the second tactic: luring away! By doing this, we can, for example, promote a pawn! Indeed, luring away means to force a piece of the opponent to move on a square where this one does not block our attack or our pieces 2. Check the king for a good promotion! (Topic: luring away) You think you have found the solution? Nice! Faster than for the first puzzle of the Puzzle Road? Check now if you had right and find the analyzis of this position in this article: https://www.chess.com/blog/Kyu13/puzzle-road-check-the-king-for-a-good-promotion-p2 Have a good day and see you tomorrow for the third puzzle!
