You like the fact that you can put your queen one square diagonally of your opponents pawn and he is completly helpless 😛?

That feels sweet. Well played. Your opponent learned the lesson about castling / king safety hard way.


Here is my best pin blitz game, ever 🙂 Three or four pins, I don't remember correctly.

I am black in this game.
I like my 11...Qh6 prevening the capture of my bishop who pins knight but pinning the pawn which attacks it. After that, even more pins ;

A lot of my blitz games are won because of pins. Pins are my favorite tactics in chess.

Yes indeed. here is a game where i was completely outplayed on the ICCF server. My very strongly rated opponent utilised a pin on my f3 knight which completely tied me in knots.
