What is a attacking f2/f7?
At the start of the game f7 (and f2) is defended only by the king, which makes it the target of many opening traps and early sacrifices.
These puzzles come from real games where a sacrifice or attack on f7/f2 decided things early.
Common mistake
Sacrificing on f7 without enough follow-up pieces.
How to spot it
Is the enemy king still in the centre with pieces aimed at f7/f2?
Bishop on c4/c5 plus knight on g5/g4 is the classic battery.
A sacrifice on f7 that drags the king out is often followed by a knight or queen check.
