A discovered attack happens when moving one piece uncovers an attack from a piece standing behind it. Because the moving piece can create a second threat of its own, discovered attacks generate two threats from a single move — which is why they win material so often.
Look for your own pieces standing directly in front of a bishop, rook, or queen that is aimed at something valuable. The strongest version is a discovered check, since the opponent must answer the check and has no time to deal with what the moving piece just attacked.
This trainer draws on 568 puzzles tagged with the discovered attack theme, rated from 628 to 2969 with a median of 1425. Every position comes from a real game in the Lichess open puzzle database, so the tactics are ones that actually occurred over the board rather than composed studies.
