What is an X-Ray Attack?

X 射线攻击(或简称“X 射线”)是国际象棋中的一种战术主题,其中远程棋子(车、象或后)“通过”中间棋子攻击目标方格或敌方棋子。攻击方将其力量投射到障碍物上方,这意味着如果障碍物移动或被捕获,X射线攻击就会变成直接攻击。 X射线最常用于防御看似未防御的棋子,或攻击看似受到充分保护的方格。

How It Works — Step by Step

Step 1

The X-Ray: Hidden Power

White's rook on d1 'sees through' the rook on d4 to control d8. If Black exchanges, White recaptures and controls the file.

Step 2

Back Rank X-Ray Mate

White plays Rxd8+! After Rxd8, the rook on d1 X-rays through to d8 with Rxd8# — back rank mate.

Step 3

X-Ray Defense

The rook on d8 X-rays through the queen on d1 to protect it. If Black captures Bxd1, Rxd1 recaptures.

Step 4

Alekhine's Gun — Triple X-Ray

Queen on c1, rook on c2, rook on c3 — all stacked. The queen X-rays through both rooks. If either is captured, the queen fires.

Tips for Club Players

始终将目光投向车、象或后视线范围内的第一颗棋子之外。

车在直线上加倍是一种常见且强大的 X 射线攻击形式。

如果对手的棋子与你的国王或王后排成一排,即使中间有棋子,也要非常小心。

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about X-ray attacks

当远程棋子(车、象或后)沿着“穿过”另一棋子的线(列、纵列或对角线)施加影响时,就会发生 X 射线攻击。它可以用来攻击敌方棋子或防御看似被阻挡的友方棋子。

销钉限制棋子移动,因为它后面有更有价值的棋子。叉子迫使有价值的棋子移动,暴露出后面价值较低的棋子。 X 射线检查更为普遍;这是一个棋子的力量穿过障碍物投射的概念,通常用于防御棋子或攻击方格(就像在后排将死序列中一样)。
