What’s on the In-Between Moves poster
The rule, 3 worked examples, and the mistake everyone makes.
- A zwischenzug is a forcing move inserted before the expected continuation.
- expected: recapture · better: check first, THEN recapture
- They capture; you plan to recapture = Check first if you have one
- Why it works = They must answer the check
- Defence = Look for their in-between moves too
- Common mistake: Assuming a capture must be answered immediately → Check for a stronge…
Also called an intermezzo. It is the most commonly missed resource in club calculation.

- Who is the In-Between Moves poster for?
- In-Between Moves belongs to the Chess section rather than to a school year, because games is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning tactics can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the In-Between Moves poster?
- Before recapturing, check whether you have a stronger move first. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so In-Between Moves belongs on the wall where that games work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with In-Between Moves?

- Is the In-Between Moves poster free to download and print?
- Yes. In-Between Moves downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Chess section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the In-Between Moves poster print at?
- In-Between Moves is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of In-Between Moves loses nothing.Printing guide
