Learn to Play Chess | What is Pins? | Chess Tactics What are the pins? The pin is amongst most common chess tactics. Pins happen when we are attacking a piece and a more valuable piece s revealed behind it. Pins only happen in a straight line and for long-range pieces which means rooks, bishops and queens can make this move. Pawns, knights and kings can unfortunately not make this move. It mostly happens when you attack a piece like a knight by a rook, but there is king behind this knight. So, the knight is now pinned between a rook and the king. It cannot be moved because if the knight moves the king, which is the most valuable piece in chess, will be captured and it will be checkmate. So instantly you lose the game. However, you need to play this move very carefully because you end up losing more points because when you capture through a pin you can put yourself in a threat by some other piece lying just there in position to capture your piece. So if you are teaching chess for kids beginners teach them to always be alert in chess.
