What is a Desperado?

当棋子已经被困或注定要被吃掉时,就会出现亡命之徒的国际象棋策略。由于棋子无论如何都会丢失,所以它会鲁莽行事——牺牲自己来对对手造成最大伤害,通常是通过取出棋子或强制进行不利的交易。

How It Works — Step by Step

Step 1

The trapped piece

White's knight on d6 is completely surrounded — it will be captured next move regardless. But it can reach the Black rook on e8 before dying. This is a desperado: a piece that refuses to die for nothing.

Step 2

The mutual desperado

Both queens are attacked simultaneously. White's queen can reach the Black rook. Black's queen can reach the White rook. The side that initiates the better capture wins the material race.

Step 3

Sell it dearly

A classic desperado decision: the rook on b8 is trapped and doomed. But before it goes, it can take the Black queen on d8. A rook (5 points) for a queen (9 points) — the material swing turns a losing position into a winning one.

Step 4

The stalemate desperado

White is completely lost — but the 'crazy rook' can sacrifice itself to force stalemate. The piece dies to buy a draw instead of losing everything.

Common Misconceptions

Myth

亡命之徒只是一个普通的牺牲品。

被誉为“世纪骗局”。埃文斯完全迷失了,但牺牲了他的女王,然后用他的“疯狂车”作为亡命之徒,不断地检查第七位的雷舍夫斯基。雷舍夫斯基如果不拿下车就无法逃脱检查,这将导致僵局。
