Discovered Check/Discovered Attack
1 ... Qxd4?
2 Bxh7+! Kxh7
Since black must deal with that rude bishop immediately,
he loses his queen on the next move.
1 ... Nxg6 2 Bf3
2 ... e4 3 dxe4
Black brings e4 to block the line.
3 ... fxe4? 4 Bxe4
Black has refused the chance to retreat his queen.
Instead he reclaims his pawn by playing 3 ... fxe4.
White goes on pinning with Bxe4. Note 4 ... Qxe4 would be met by 5 Re1, pinning black queen to its king.
4 ... Qe6? 5 Re1
Not a good idea to put your queen in front of the king.
White is ready to launch a pin now.
5 ... Be7 6 Bc6+!
Black plays 5 ... Be7, hoping to free his queen from the upcoming pin.
But white turns the pin into a discovered attack!
6 ... Kf8?
Yet another bad move. Better is 6 ... Qd7, a bishop for a queen.
Lack of king safety accounts for the disaster. Get it right before thinking about attack.
