What is Deflection?

偏转(有时也称为分散注意力)是一种迫使对手棋子放弃防御任务的国际象棋策略。通过攻击防御棋子、占领它或提供它必须接受的牺牲,你可以迫使防御者离开它所保护的方格或棋子。一旦防御者被转移,原来的目标就变得脆弱,可能被捕获或利用。

How It Works — Step by Step

Step 1

What is Deflection?

Black's queen on d7 is the only defender of the rook on e8. White plays Qc7! — attacking the queen and daring it to capture. After Qxc7, the rook is abandoned: Rxe8#. The queen has been deflected from its defensive duty.

Step 2

Deflecting the Back Rank Guard

Black's rook on f8 is the only guard of the back rank. White ignores the attack on his own queen and plays Qxf8+! — a deflection sacrifice. After Kxf8, the doubled rooks finish the job: Re8#.

Step 3

Deflection into a Fork

White's knight dreams of Ne7+, forking king and rook — but Black's queen guards e7. So White deflects it: Qc5! offers a trade. After Qxc5 bxc5, the guard is gone and Ne7+ wins the rook on c8.

Step 4

Even Pawns Can Deflect

Even a humble pawn can deflect. Black's knight on d6 is the only piece keeping White's rook out of e8. White plays c5! — and the knight has no good square: blocking with Ne4 simply loses it to Rxe4, and any other retreat abandons e8, allowing Re8#.

Tips for Club Players

当你看到想要捕捉的棋子时,问问自己:“是什么在捍卫它?”然后问:“我可以强迫那个防守队员移动吗?”

阻截是造成偏转的最有力方式,因为对手必须立即做出反应。

不要依靠单一的手段来防御你最关键的弱点。
