Coercion


Coercion is the act of coercing an opponent's piece or pieces to poisonous square or squares without a sacrifice or sacrifices. Coercion occurs when a player forces a piece to a square where it will later come under attack. 

In the following example, Black should play 1... Rh2+, coercing the king to g4.
