Resourceful defense


There are books always compelling on various attacking positions but less stress is laid on the defense moves. It should be noted that defense is never passive. Even masters find it difficult to apply their tactics for a resourceful defense. Such a defense is necessary to avoid collapsing at the crucial moments of the game. For e.g. in diagram, when White is about to lose its Queen, seems very helpless and about to resign. But you can notice, he plans a technique to take away Black’s Queen in return. You can see, this plan is implemented on Knight fork.
