Line 52:
Line 52: − + − This strategy involves maneuvering your piece, so that there is an enemy piece in between your attacking piece and another more valuable enemy piece. This creates a situation in where the opponent cannot move the piece in question without losing the more valuable piece behind it, effectively "pinning" the piece. A pinned piece can be easily taken.+ +
→Moves which win material
One example of the fork is called '''"The Pickle"'''. A inexperienced player can be tricked into losing one of his rooks in the following manner. You move your king pawn forward 2 squares. Your opponent pushes his kings pawn up 2 squares as well. (the most common response) You move your queen out diagonaly to the right all the way to the edge of the board. If the other player is ambitious, they will most likely advance the knight's pawn 1 square to attack your queen. At that point, you move to capture your opponent's king pawn with your queen. This will place the king in check, forcing him to block the check with a piece. Then, since he moved his knight's pawn, the path will be clear for you to capture the kings rook. this sets you up with one of his rooks out of the way, and you have control over the center of the board.

====The Pin====
When a player makes a move so that an opponent's piece is in between his attacking piece and another more valuable enemy piece, the move is called a '''"pin"'''. Pinning creates a situation in which the opponent cannot move the piece in question without losing the more valuable piece behind it, effectively "pinning" the piece. A pinned piece can be easily taken.
