Skewer Attack

1 ) High value piece behind the attacked piece. This is one kind of dangerous attack

2 ) Skewer Attack - dangerous attack

3 ) Dangerous skewer attack - No way of white's Queen escape.

Where ever King moves after check, white Queen cant be saved

4 ) Becarefull while doing castling. There is threat of skewer attack and you will loose Rook

5 ) Skewer attack -3

6 ) Skewer Attack

7 ) Beautiful skewer attack, here King cant defend its Rook because of our Rook is controlling f file.

8 ) Skewers attack from Queen , King cant defend its Rook after attack, because of its friendly pawn.

Later on white also have counter attack- b5 pawn move which leads to fork attack from pawn.

9 ) Black's Rook Pins the King , So Black will do sacrifice from its Knight, if Rook or pawn captures then black loses material and loses game quickly because dXc4 immediately check on the King and loses materials. Black will have more pawns and easy to win game. So exchanging piece is not good always. first see the position of the game then decide exchanging piece better for your game?

So here better move for white is Rd1.

37...Nc4 38.Rxc4 dxc4+ 39.Kc3 Rd3+ 40.Rxd3 cxd3

37...Nc4 38.bxc4 dxc4+ 39.Kxe4 Rxd2 40.Rxc4 Kg6 41.Rc6+ Kh5 42.Kf3 Rxa2 43.Rc3 Rb2 44.Rc7 Rb3+ 45.Kf2 Rxb5 46.Rxa7 Rb2+ 47.Kf3 b5

Better move is 37...Nc4 38.Rd1 Kg6
