Forcing Sequence

Checks, captures and threats that leave the opponent no choice. A forcing sequence is calculated to its end, and the side that finds one decides the game on its own terms.

Key ideas

  • Checks, captures, threats — in that order
  • Calculate the forced line to the end
  • The last move of the sequence is the point
