White to moveSolutions on page 131Deflection is a tactical motif whoseobjective is to force a piece awayfrom the defence of another piece ora key square.The black queen guards the h4square, which is a role of vitalimportance as from this square thewhite queen can force checkmate. Bymaking a deflection sacrifice, Whitecan put his queen on this key square:1. Ei:c8! Wxc8 (the black queen cannotcontinue to guard h4, as the squarese7, f6 and gS are all under White'scontrol) 2. Wh4+ mg8 3. Wh7#Deflection, like all tactical motifs,can be combined with other elements,as illustrated in the following position.With the spectacular 1. Ei:e8! !, Whiteinitiates a combination that includesdeflection and a pin; Black has nochoice but to part with his rook toavoid checkmate.The plight of the black queen ismiserable: if 1... Wb6, there is 2.Wg7# (the g8 Ei: is pinned); 1... Wc7will be met by 2. Wf6+ followed bymate; afterl ... Wd4 (the only movethat parries all the mating threats,but leaves the b8Ei: undefended), thereis 2. Ei:3xg8+ ii.xg8 3. Ei:xb8 and Whitehas a decisive advantage: the doubleattack 3 ... WeS+ fails because of 4. f4(4... Wxb8 is answered by 5. Wf6#).The chess term for describing apiece that has more defensive tasksthan it can cope with is 'overloaded'.57
