Your queen can capture two pieces. Which one is free?

Your move

💡 Need a hint?

Before you capture, ask: “After I take, can Black take my piece back?” If yes, that piece is protected.

What you learn here

A piece that no enemy piece protects is “hanging” — you can win it for free. A protected piece can be taken back (recaptured), so capturing it may lose your own piece.

Chapter 2 — Captures: Capture pieces that nobody protects, trade a small piece for a big one, and keep your own pieces safe.
