Winning Chess Tactics - The Decoy

A decoy in chess is the tactic of forcing a piece, usually a major piece, to move to a square (considered a poisoned square) that it would not normally go to with the use of a sacrifice, in an effort to win material or possibly the game.

Here's a great chess tactic video covering the use of the decoy. It contains several decoy tactics which cover the winning of material in some examples and the winning of the game in others.
