Defending 1
“The attack is the best defense”. Unfortunately, this wisdom does not always hold up in chess. If the opponent is aiming all their arrows at your king, you are forced into a defensive role. The art of good defense is to know how to parry all the opponent's threats.
Sometimes it is a matter of “surviving,” after which you can win on the basis of positional or material advantages.
What do you have to do?
Parry the opponent's threats.
