Lulu Wojcik teaches you all about attraction and deflection.  Attraction occurs when a player entices a piece to a square (often using a sacrifice) where it will later come under attack.  Deflection is a tactic that forces an opposing piece to leave the square, rank or file it occupies, thus exposing the king or a valuable piece.
