Lessons in Quick practice: forks, pins and skewers
Forks – A fork is one piece attacking two enemy pieces at once. Your opponent can only save one of them.
Pins – A pin: a piece cannot move (or should not) because a more valuable piece stands behind it.
Skewers – A skewer is a pin the other way round: the more valuable piece is in front. When it steps aside, you take what was behind it.
