What is a "decoy"?
A decoy in chess is a tactic where one player uses a piece to distract or mislead the opponent, often to set up an attack or gain a strategic advantage. The decoy piece is placed in a position that forces the opponent to focus on it or make a defensive move, while the player’s actual plan is to attack elsewhere on the board. This tactic can trick the opponent into making moves that weaken their position, allowing the player to gain a better advantage or deliver a surprise attack.
