  • Join GM Simon Williams (@GingerGM) as he breaks down five of his favorite pins in chess history! In chess, a pin is when a piece cannot move because it it is being attacked and moving it would expose a more valuable piece on its other side to be captured by the attacking piece. These moves come from some of the greatest chess players of all time including Alexander Alekhine, David Bronstein, and more!

    By the way, in the last example, 1. Qc8 fails because Black replies 1. … Qe3, threatening 2. … Qf2#. 1. Qd8 is the correct move because now, 1. … Qe3 is simply met with 2. Qxh4.

      Johs No, because White retakes with 2. exf3, and remember, the Rook on e8 is pinned, so 2. … Rxe1# is an illegal move.

  • @elindauer
    @elindauer 3 года назад +1

    At 6:27 there is a beautiful pin easter egg. After Ba6, Simon doesn't mention the natural try Rd1, just defending the bishop. But black has the gorgeous response Rb1!! with two pieces hanging and pinning simultaneously. Rxb1 Bxd3+ forks the rook and wins a piece, while Bxa6 Rxd1+ wins an exchange, so white has no good answer to the threat of Rxd1 removing the defender of the d3 bishop.

    • @magnafire1
      @magnafire1 3 года назад

      Because then white king would move to e2 and would take back rook for rook and yes lose his bishop but having a knight left it could lead to a draw. But his idea leaves his opponent with also one less pawn so his idea is superior to what you said. But even if it lead to the same result what he said is just the easier win perhaps. May be he didn't miss the alternative move but didn't have the need to mention a move that was not better.

  • @crazypomp927

    I actually found that last pin! Spotted Qd8 straight off, but I think that was heavily due to knowing that the correct move was a pin. When you know to look for a pin, Qd8 becomes obvious, but finding that over the board in a game is altogether different.

    Amazing position in last example that Qc8 and Qb8 counter pin not work becuase of Qe3 connecting R+Q and black threaten Qf2# and white has to give up Q for R with lost game. With Solution Qd8! he not just counterpins Re8 but also threatens Qxh4 if Qe3 to eliminate Qf2# mate threat.

    In the Bronstein game, I wonder if this works: instead of ...Q:c3, Black has ...Q:e2, threatening ...Qe1 leading to a backrank mate. Now if Rd1, Black plays ...Rd8 with the threat ...R:d2, R:d2, Qe1 mate. So White creates luft for his King with b3. But then ...R:d2, R:d2, Qe1+, Kb2 and Black wins the Rook on d2 now that the King is driven away. If this brutal approach works, it's certainly not as elegant as Bronstein's.
