X-Ray chess tactics occur when two of your pieces defend one another “through” an enemy piece.

The bishop is attacked twice - the white queen is performing an x-ray attack through the black queen, you are attacking a piece through an opponents piece.


It is always important to not only look at where all your pieces are directly attacking but at the same time where they are indirectly attacking or defending
