Concepts that fire on this position
Our SAE pipeline tagged this position with 10 active features. Each links to a page documenting that pattern in detail.
Why this puzzle is hard
The rarest pattern firing here is Knight in a tactically active role — fork threat, trapped piece, or…, which appears in only 127 of our 9,950 puzzles (1.28%). Rare patterns tend to be the bottleneck — players who haven't internalised them will fail this puzzle even when their tactical calculation is otherwise solid.
The puzzle's Lichess ELO of 2658 reflects this: solvers below that rating typically miss the cue entirely.
