Puzzle 1 of 4

The black queen is protected — but a pawn for a queen is still a great trade. Find it!

Your move

💡 Need a hint?

Count points. If Black takes back, is the piece you won worth more than the piece you lost?

What you learn here

Pieces have points: pawn 1, knight 3, bishop 3, rook 5, queen 9. Giving a knight (3) for a rook (5) wins 2 points — that is a good trade, even if Black takes back.
