Improve Your Chess: The 3 Ways a Tactic Might be Allowed
In this video NM Dan Heisman gives examples of the 3 main ways a chess player allows a tactic to be played against them (so you can try to avoid all 3!):
1) Positionally outplayed until the position cracks,
2) Misses a threat, and/or
3) Makes an unsafe move (allowing a tactic not previously threatened).
