00:00Pin in the endgame is a far more dangerous tool than in the openings

00:04because you have very few pieces, if any, to defend the piece that is pinned.

00:18Let's look at a couple of positions where we can realize the power of the pin.

00:25And this is an endgame. It looks very simple.

00:31Rooks, two rooks, two knights, four pawns.

00:36It seems there's no more excitement left.

00:40But for a moment, black created this potential problem

00:47by having rook and knight at the same line.

00:50But if white simply tries to pin with rook and three,

00:54then king defends the knight, and we have nothing.

01:03We don't have any way of putting more pressure on this knight.

01:07So that's why all we need is just to make an intermediate check.

01:12Rook e2.

01:13We're attacking the king, and if king runs on d4, then we do a fork.

01:18Remember? Fork.

01:18Double attack, king and rook, winning the material.

01:23And if king goes on f5, then we'll go rook e3, and then we'll win because of the pin.

01:28Black has no way without sacrificing an exchange and having a totally lost endgame.

01:34So it's important.

01:36Just another important thing, intermediate move.

01:40Often happens.

01:41You can easily miss it because, you know, you look at moves like rook e3 to create immediate threat,

01:49but actually rook e2 wins because it destroys black's coordination, so pushes the king.

01:57So that's also quite a useful example.

02:00Let's see.

02:01Let's see.
