	Pin (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The fl rook is pinning the white knight to the white queen.
		A pin that often occurs in openings is the move Bb5 (see algebraic chess notation) which, if Black has moved their d-pawn, pins the knight on c6, because moving the knight would expose the king on e8 to check.
		A common way to win the queen is to pin her to the king with a rook: for instance with a white rook on e1, the fl queen on e5 and the fl king on e8.

	Skewer (chess) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In chess, a skewer (or thrust) is an attack upon two pieces in a line and is similar to a pin.
		In fact, a skewer is sometimes described as a "reverse pin"; the difference is that in a skewer, the more valuable piece is in front of the piece of lesser value.
		This is an absolute skewer, because the rules of chess compel White to move out of check.

	Mark Lowery's Exciting World of Chess - Moving Pieces and Advancing pawns - Part 3 of 4
		Pin: is used to refer to the situation where a more valuable opposing piece is located behind another opposing piece or pawn which is being attacked by a player's piece such that if the opposing piece or pawn is moved, the more valuable one behind is subject to being captured.
		A pin and a skewer are two variations on the same general principle - a player's piece is attacking a forward opposing piece or pawn, which if moved will subject another opposing piece or pawn behind it to capture, or in the case of a pin involving the opposing King, then subject it to check.
		In the relative pin diagram, Black's Knight at f5 is not skewered because Black's pawn at g6 behind is adequately defended by Black's pawn at h7 and Black could also move his or her Knight from f5 to e7 thereby also protecting Black's pawn at g6.

	chess tactics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In chess, a fork is a tactic that uses one piece to attack two of the opponent's pieces at the same time, hoping to achieve material advantage because the opponent can only counter one of the two threats.
		In chess, a pin is a move which forces one of the opponent's pieces to stay put because moving it would expose a more valuable piece behind it or a situation where such a thing has happened.
		Chess instructors usually steer beginners away from any detailed study of chess openings, focusing instead on tactics and chess endgames, which serve as the basis for later strategic understanding.

	Zugzwang - TheBestLinks.com - Chess, Copenhagen, German language, Pin (chess), ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In chess, zugzwang (German for "compulsion to move") occurs when one player is put at a disadvantage because he has to make a move - the player would like to pass and make no move, but the fact that they must make one means they are forced into weakening their position.
		Normally in chess, "having the move" is a good thing, since the player with the chance to move has greater power by being able to choose the "best" next move.
		The zugzwang theme is extensively used in chess compositions and endgame studies.

		A Pin is a tactic used to freeze an opponent's piece so that it cannot be moved, either because moving it will cause the king to be captured, or will cause the loss of a major piece, such as a queen.
		A Pin has some advantages, the chief among them being the immobilization of the piece being pinned.
		A combination is a series of moves, thought out in advance, in which several moves are forced on the defender, who has no choice in the matter, but which leads either to the defender's loss of material or mate.

	3D Chess -- Attack-board Movement
		An adjacent pin is defined as a pin that lies in one of the 6 basic directions of movement, and which is also the NEAREST pin in that direction.
		In addition, even though pin position 3 is the nearest INVERTED pin to pin 1, it is NOT the nearest pin, which is in fact pin 2.
		In the case of moving to pin 2, the attack board is 'flipping' from the underside to the topside of the fl defense board, and thus the move is legal.

		In cases of a full pin, the pinned piece cannot move at all without exposing its valued piece to attack.
		In cases of a partial pin, the pinned piece can still move along the line of linear attack (such as along a file, rank, or diagonal), but were it to move off this line of attack, the valued piece would be exposed to the attack.
		It is also possible for one piece to be absolutely pinned in one direction and/or relatively pinned in one or more other directions (orientations).

	LS Note 250: High-Heat-Load Synchrotron Tests of Room-Temperature, Silicon Crystal Monochromators at the CHESS F-2 ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The criss-cross patterned crystal was tested at the F-2 wiggler station at CHESS in April 1995 (the same run as the `new' pin-post crystal).
		Because it was not clear how the temperature scales with the heat load (i.e., with power or power density), we did the comparisons for two different cases: (1) by scaling the temperatures with total power and (2) by scaling the temperatures with surface peak power density.
		Given the power profile of the CHESS F2 wiggler beam and the amount of coolant flow (water or liquid gallium) available in our experiments, the pin-post crystal clearly did not perform as well as the slotted crystal.

		Since chess is an analogy to war, it is only natural that this vulnerability should be copied to the game.
		This is a special term for pinning a rook or a queen with a lower-valued piece, with your pinning piece defended.
		But if the pinning piece is also defended, then your opponent has no choice: they will lose their rook or queen no matter what they do, since they cannot move their piece away and expose the king.

		The reason I play it is that I think the pin of the knight on a f3 by the bishop coming to g4 is difficult to break.
		I understand your willingness to avoid the pin, but you should remember that you are also pinning tho opponents knight and as it already was mentioned above, d4 threatens to win that knight, so fl should answer with Bd7 and there is no point to play h3 to avoid the Bg4 move.
		I think the point of h3 in the Spanish game is not so much to prevent the pin of the Nf3 as to prevent the consequences of that pin, the weakening of White's control of the d4 square.
