When taking their first steps on the large board, every beginner draughts player learns about a variety of combination mechanisms that can be used in their game. One of the next combination moves in the compulsory training program is the Reichenbach move.
The Reichenbach blow is usually performed in the classic position. We will show you the first examples, but try to solve the last positions yourself.
