Can you imagine danger levels just going higher and higher? Like, you attack their pawn, and instead of saving their pawn, they attack your bishop. And instead of saving your bishop, you attack their rook. And instead of saving their rook, they attack your queen. And instead of saving your queen, you attack their king. Then once the king escapes check, a TON of moves go off all at once.

The principle of danger levels is easy enough to understand. What makes it difficult to apply for beginners (me included) is that you have to precisely calculate, usually 3 or more moves deep, while trying to prove yourself wrong, not right. And quickly finding the most dangerous out of many possible continuations is the what beginners struggle the most with.

Literally won a game last night where it looked like the only way out of a pickle was to give up a Rook for a pawn (possibly 2 rooks for 2 pawns).
