00:00Black has nothing else but to take our rook and then our pawn will
00:07advance to promotion and we'll win the game.
00:11Just you know for
00:15completing this sample, I can say that if black instead of knight g5 goes on d6 with a knight, then we still attack
00:23the rook
00:25with our bishop. If knight takes the bishop, then rook is
00:29hanging and after rook d7 we attack now
00:32from e6 reaching the same result.
00:36So this simple
00:38example shows you the power of the pin and
00:42how much it limits the opponent's pieces if they're pinned and what can you do by using the pin to
00:49enlarge your advantage.
00:51I also once benefited from using the pin and
01:02and that was quite a rare game at the top level.
01:07I played at this tournament again in
01:10Novgorod against a tournament game against
01:13Russian Grandmaster Evgeny Baraev.
01:15And we reached an endgame with two rooks versus rook and knight.
01:21Professionals know that pawnless endgames are very, very rare guests in top tournaments
01:29and Baraev expected a draw to be agreed but I saw no reason why not to just move pieces around
01:34because two rooks are two rooks and the wild position is drawn but I could always keep
01:41creating threats because rooks could attack from afar and though his pieces were fairly close
01:47he still had some problems to solve and at one point he he collapsed and I made the decisive blunder
01:53and let me win with the pin and what do you expect if if you have two rooks
