Checklist for gaining wood

 I made the begin of a checklist of matters to recognize in a puzzle. I will work out more details in following posts:

Before combination

• Get rid of your own problem piece
• Get rid of potential counter attacker

A target piece can be lost by

Trap

• Little space
• [Prevent escape]
• [Blocking]

Duplo attack

• Double attack
• Discovered attack
• Pin
• Skewer

Target not on target square

• [Chase] to target square by threat
• [Lure] to target square
• [Capture] defended piece. Defender becomes target
• [Magnet]

Attacker not on begin LoA

• [Targeting]

LoA battle

[Clearance]

• Your own piece with additional threat

Change A:D-ratio on LoA, pivot square or target square

After combination

Assure safe withdrawal of attacker

General

An [action] is indicated by square brackets, bold and italic

Do all [actions] accompanied by a threat

change A:D-ratio

[Add attacker] (targeting)

[Remove defender]
