In Game 3092028 the following position occurred after whites 35th move.



Rf6 pinned against black K by white Q;
Rf4 pinned against black Q by white Q;
Bg4 pinned against black K by white R.

Can anyone give any examples of more pins in (a position in) a game.

No comments on this actual game please until it is over

Something's up with that FEN, Dragon Fire - you have two Queens!

The Rf4 is not really pinned because black can do Rf2 without losing the queen.

But then White would play Rxg4 winning the bishop.

I overlooked that. Rxg4+ is a threat in the position.
