Session # 27
THE PIN

Today, we learn a last tactic for this course, the pin. The pin is a way of paralyzing an enemy piece. It is done by placing a piece somewhere in order that the enemy cannot move a designated piece because it would put itself in check or would lose a piece that would be behind.

Here, if white move their rook to a1 to pin the knight, they will be able to take it next move.

Here, the bishop can move to g3 to pin the rook and take it the following move.

At the end of every session, we recommend pracicing and / or doing some chess puzzles. This site has chess puzzles and also a chess forum so you can chat with other players. http://www.chessnerds.com
