Remove the guard & pin

You already know a lot of ways to get rid of defending pieces. Like capturing, shooing off (deflection), or luring away (decoy). But sometimes these don't suffice, and you have to use an additional weapon, like a pin. You will practice that in this lesson.

Take a look at the example to see how White uses a pin to lure away the opponent's defender.


What do you have to do?

Win material or checkmate your opponent by using a pin to get rid of the defender.
