Learn Chess: Is Your Move Safe? - Don't lose your pieces!
Safety/Tactics are the most important issues on a chess board. It follows that asking "Is a move safe?" about both the opponent's move & your candidate moves is of paramount importance. In this video NM Dan Heisman concentrates more on the less covered area of whether the move you are about to make is safe (also covered in Dan's book Is Your Move Safe?).
NM Dan Heisman has been a full-time chess instructor since 1996 and is the author of 14 chess books, the TV show "Q&A with Coach Heisman" on Chess.com and the radio show "Ask the Renaissance Man" on the Internet Chess Club.
