discovered attacks

Hello everyone. 

I just did the Chess.com lesson "discovered attacks" turns out they are hard to find but apparently they are useful. 

Does anyone have any advice on how to get good at finding "discovered attacks" when you play chess? 

Thank you. 

To be more systematic with what the gentleman above suggested, engage in the following line of questions per move. 

Once you've gotten to a move that you know deviates from book openings, ask yourself: 

1. Are any of my opponents pieces blocking the line of sight of another piece they have? 

2. If so, what move could they do that could give them a material advantage via discovered attack? 

3. Are any of my pieces blocking the line of sight of another piece I have? 

4. If so, what move could I do that could give me a material advantage via discovered attack? 

5. Bonus question (up to you to include this): is it possible for me to set up a discovered attack without me wasting time or resources or my opponent substantially refuting it? 

If you do this for each move in every game you play, then your susceptibility to this tactical blunder will decrease over time, as well as your recognition of the possibility. If you like, set up an Excel spreadsheet and record how many times you fell victim to this particular tactic in each game. This way, you can prove yourself with data that you are improving. 

I actually fell victim to a nasty discovered attack a couple games ago, so I definitely know how that's like. Best of luck!

Moving a piece that exposes an attack is very useful because people generally just look at the moved piece, not noticing the attack.

This is all incredibly useful. I should get a pen and paper and write down those suggestions to remember them. 

Thank you!
