What is a "desperado"?
In chess, a desperado is a piece, usually a pawn, knight, or rook, that is about to be captured but is sacrificed in a way that forces the opponent to deal with it, often causing them to make a less favorable move. The desperado piece is typically used to create a distraction or to open up a tactical opportunity, even though it will ultimately be lost. The goal is to use the piece’s position to gain a strategic advantage, like capturing an important opponent’s piece or setting up a more powerful attack.
