Interference Puzzle FAQs

What is interference in chess?

It's a tactic where you sacrifice a piece by moving it to a square where it disrupts the defensive coordination of the opponent's pieces. You cut the line of communication between them.

How is interference different from deflection?

In deflection, you lure a defender away from its post. In interference, you move a piece *between* two defenders, blocking their connection without necessarily making them move.
