Which Tactic do you find suitable and often wins the game -
1. Fork [Attacking Two or more pieces at a single move]
2. Pin [Attacking a piece which has a more valuable piece behind it]
3. Skewer [Attacking a Valuable piece which has a Less valuable piece behind it]
4. Discovered Attack [Moving one piece reveals an attack from another piece behind it]
Let me know if you have any interesting Tactic, which is not mentioned.

A Pin often wins the game, but the fork can be game changing.
Btw a windmill is a cool tactic.

Everybody needs to be completely familiar with all kinds of tactics. Asking “what’s the best tactics” shows absolute misunderstanding of the game.

And I really can't help with the Title as I can't edit it and I was not sure how to ask others opinion so I made it simple and minimal
