Tactics (Pin)
Pin satranç terimi görseli

Pin is a tactical motif in which moving a piece would expose a more valuable piece behind it.

Types of Pin

  • Absolute Pin: There is a king behind the pinned piece. The piece cannot legally move at all.
  • Relative Pin: There is a valuable piece other than the king behind the pinned piece. The piece can move, but doing so causes a loss.
