In chess, "Checks, Captures, and Attacks" (CCA) is a crucial tactical checklist to analyze a position and identify potential moves. It's a systematic approach to evaluating a position for forcing moves (checks), opportunities to capture an opponent's pieces, and attacks on the opponent's pieces or weaknesses. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Checks:

A check occurs when a piece attacks the opponent's king. This forces a response and can lead to tactical opportunities. 

Captures:

Captures involve taking an opponent's piece, which can lead to material gains and tactical advantages. 

Attacks:

Attacks involve threatening an opponent's piece, piece, or weaknesses. This can create pressure, limit the opponent's options, and lead to tactical opportunities.
