Pins

Hello friends! this is MogiLane, and today we are going to focusing on pins

what are pins? :

there are 2 types of pins absolute pin and relative pin, an absolute pin is when you are attacking a piece and it can't move because the king would be in check. A relative is were the piece can move but then he would loose material for example a bishop is attacking a knight and if the knight moves the queen would be taken

 

Practicing pins:
Now that we know what a pin is let's practice some 

Again

what?

I'm not sure those puzzles are the best at illustrating your point.

For example: puzzle 1 move 2, it's not entirely clear why Qe3 is the best move. Why not Bxf7+ instead?

Worth mentioning the Positional Pin. The piece is not directly pinned but cannot move due to threats in the position. It's a key defender for example.

The starting position of puzzle 2 is illegal. There's no way Black could have made the capture ...bxa6. The only White piece not on the board is the DSB, which cannot reach a6, a light square, under any circumstances. There's also no explanation for White's extra LSB, since a promoted bishop on e8 would be inhibited by the Black pawns on d7 and f7.

Two LSBs?

Sorry gosh

im just posting some useful info and you guys are telling me i'm wrong thanks a lot

WOW

im blocking you

LOL

great forum. unfortunately there were a few content and grammar and spelling errors but well done

oh yea positional pins r a thing. altho u do know a lot for an around 400 beginner!

i am higher rated than 400 i am underrated 

u've been tilting since 1000 but ok

?

Haha don't take it personal dude. While the tactic is correct the position is invalid. Also, don't listen to anyone attacking you just because of your rating.

We're trying to give constructive criticism and you block us for that?

sorry gosh  they are just for practicing
