Preparing tactics is FUN

 Which leads us to the following grand scheme of preparing tactics:

  • The slow moving pieces like the king and pawns are the potential sitting ducks of the game
  • Provoking the pawns to move forward is the way to alter them in targets
  • Targets need to be fixed so they can't skedaddle the coming onslaught
  • Add pressure to the targets, this forces hostile pieces to defend them
  • Pieces with a defensive task have a FUNction. The FUN of PoPLoAFun.
  • Pieces with a defensive function must give up their mobility. So they become potential sitting ducks themselves.
  • Add a second front by creating a second target
  • By changing the pressure from one front to another and back, the immobile defenders with a FUNction might have trouble to follow. Which clears the way for tactics to appear.
