English term or phrase: Kick
Contexte : jeu d'échecs

A **kick** move is when you use a pawn to attack a piece that your opponent has moved into your half of the board

Autre définition en anglais : Kick: Attacking a piece, typically by a pawn, so that it will move. Kicking a piece may lead to gaining a tempo, or may force the opponent to concede control of key squares.

Quelqu'un connaîtrait-il le terme français pour ce coup ?

Merci !
