About Exposed King
An exposed king — one whose pawn shield has been broken or who has remained in the center — is a prime target for tactical combinations. These puzzles develop your ability to identify when the opponent's king is vulnerable and find the precise sequence of moves to exploit that weakness before the king escapes or defenses are rebuilt.
How to use these puzzles
Study the position carefully before moving any pieces. Try to find the best move on your own, then click on the piece you want to move and select the target square. Use the Hint button if you get stuck. After solving the puzzle, use the Next Puzzlebutton in the Current Turn card to practice another position from this theme.
