Discovered Check
Discovered check allows you to move your piece wherever you wanted to secure an edge either by capturing a piece or by moving your pieces in a better square. The following position arises from the game Verlinsky-Rabinovich. At first, the queen sacrifice by white 1. Qxc seems unpromising as after RxQ 2. RxR Kb8.. The discovered check cannot capture black’s queen for free. Let’s see what happened.
Verlinsky-Rabinovich (Lenigrad, 1925)
Solution: 1. Qxc+! RxQ 2. RxR+ Kb8 3. Rb3+!! Looking at the whole board... Ka7 4.Ra3+ and catching the opponent’s king on the other side of it.. Ba6 5. RaxB Kb7 6. Reb6 Kc8 7.Rb8+ Kc7 8. RxR KxR 9. Rc8+ Qxr 10. BxQ Resign.
