Thank you for the post! I enjoyed reading it.

In this passage, there is actually a third forcing move:
"You are not sure what to do after that, but (hopefully) you notice that Kh7 will give you two new forcing moves: 2. Qd3+ and 2. Qc2+. Whether they are useful, we don’t know yet - but they are forcing moves, so we want to notice them all."

Another exercise to finding forcing moves is to go through a game collection, stop at a diagrammed position, and before looking at the next move mentally noting (or writing down) the forcing moves for both players.

Is there anyone else that find the images of the chessboard over sized. Any way to cut them down by half?
I found a way: Right click the image to open in a new tab and press ctrl and spin the wheel of the mouse to resize the image.
