10 discovered attacks rated between 400 and 799, averaging 717. Each position below is from a real game, with the solution given underneath — so you can check yourself immediately rather than guessing whether you were right.
A discovered attack works by moving a piece out of the way so the piece behind it attacks something. The moving piece is free to do damage of its own, which is what makes discoveries so strong — you get two threats for one move. The discovered check is the most violent version.
These are pitched at 600-rated players. Puzzle ratings work like player ratings: a puzzle rated 600 is one that players around 600 solve about half the time, so if you are getting most of these you should move up a band.
Solving from a page is good for pattern recognition but not for tracking progress. The rated puzzle trainer serves puzzles matched to your own rating and adjusts as you solve, and the Mistake Trainer builds puzzles from positions you actually got wrong in your own games.
