Desperado 1

The desperado, that sounds like a complicated name, right? Such a special name fits a special trick. The 'desperado' is a special form of an intermediate move. The trick can occur in a position in which you have a piece that is under attack. In chess, you cannot avoid losing material every now and then. The point is to win back as much material as possible. With a desperado, you accept that you will lose a piece, but before you lose this piece, you use this piece to capture an enemy piece. In this way, the total sum can still be advantageous.

What do you have to do?

Play a desperado by capturing an enemy piece with a piece that is already going to be lost.
