00:00You see this pin?
00:02It's an absolute pin because knight cannot move.
00:06Leads to winning material and it's a decisive advantage, so black resigned.
00:15So pin in the endgame is far more dangerous tool than in the openings
00:20because you have very few pieces, if any, to defend the piece that is pinned.
00:30Let's look at a couple of positions where we can realize the power of the pin.
00:43And this is an endgame.
00:45It looks very simple.
00:46Rooks, two rooks, two knights, four pawns.
00:52It seems there's no more excitement left.
00:54But for a moment, black created this potential problem,
01:03having rook and knight at the same line.
01:06But if white simply tries to pin with rook and three,
01:10then king defends the knight.
01:13And we have nothing.
01:17Nothing.
01:18We don't have any way of putting more pressure on this knight.
01:23So that's why all we need is just to make an intermediate check.
01:28Rook e2.
01:29We're attacking the king.
01:30And if king runs on d4, then we do a fork.
01:33Remember?
01:34Fork.
01:36Double attack.
01:37King and rook.
01:38Winning the material.
01:39And if king goes on f5, then we'll go rook e3.
01:42And then we'll win because of the pin.
01:44Black has no way without sacrificing an exchange
01:48and having a totally lost endgame.
01:50So it's important.
01:52Just another important thing.
01:54Intermediate move.
01:56Often happens.
01:57You can easily miss it.
01:59Because
01:59both.
02:05Just another easy.
02:10To be honest.
02:13Live.
02:13All right.
02:14Good.
02:14Stay there.
02:17Bye.
02:17Bye.
02:18Bye.
02:18Bye.
02:21Bye.
02:24Bye.
02:24Bye.
02:25Bye.
02:28Bye.
02:28Bye.
