About Defensive Move

Defensive moves are often overlooked in tactical training, yet finding the right defense is just as important as launching an attack. These puzzles develop the ability to accurately assess threats and find the exact move that neutralizes them. Great defensive players are feared opponents because they can survive attacks that would defeat others.
