Target
The piece, square or outcome that a motif is aimed at.
Each record names its target: the piece to be won, the square to be reached or the king to be mated. A target remains a target when it is defended, and the sequence and best defence decide whether the attack succeeds. On a line, the target is the piece that the attack is meant to reach, and the screen either hides or exposes it.
