In part 9 of different chess tactics, we showed how deflection is used to force a key defender away so that the opponent became vulnerable to attack and had to face significant loss of material or even checkmate.
One reader requested for some more examples beyond those used as illustration in that article. You know it needs quite some effort to collect examples from different sources, but that is why we are here, aren’t we? So, we are giving below ten positions with deflection as the motif from games spread over nearly a century of chess. All these games can be seen and played out at Chessgames site and we have provided the links below each position to facilitate your search.

The above examples should give you enough ideas to enable you to use such tactics in your games when the opportunity arises.
We hope to bring to you such collected examples also on other chess tactics that we discussed.
