Clearance Tactics

A clearance tactic is an idea where the player aims to vacate a square by moving the piece standing there and putting a more useful piece on this square. The first piece is often sacrificed in order to gain a tempo or to allow further tactical combinations.

With Re2, White vacates e6 and allows the Knight to jump in and fork the King and Rook.
