Basic Tactics: forks, pins, and skewers
MoveIQ teaches tactics as a small set of repeatable visual questions instead of a wall of jargon.
One move can create more than one threat. Knights fork, line pieces pin, and skewers punish pieces stacked on the same line. The habit beginners build is simple: before making a move, scan for overloaded defenders and lined-up pieces.
Teaser drills

Name the pinned piece and the stronger piece behind it.
Explain which piece falls after the front piece steps away from a skewer.
