Pin party: discovered attack

We learned earlier that during a pin party, a pinned piece cannot fulfill its defensive duties; The pinned piece has to stay in its place, or the piece behind it will be captured. In this lesson, we are going to exploit pins by means of a discovered attack.

The examples show how this is done.

In this lesson, you are going to use discovered attacks to win material. You can do this in two ways:

• Aim the discoverd attack at a square that is defended by a pinned piece.
• Use a discovered attack to attack two things at the same time: a king of piece/square AND a square/piece that is defended by a pinned piece.

What do you have to do?

Use a discovered attack to win material. Make use of an existing pin.
