Cool Chess! Intermediate 1 Lesson 4--Tactic: Pins!
Class experience
The student will be learning about the Pin--a powerful Chess Tactic. A Tactic is a trap that a player sets to win pieces or to get a better position on the board. They will learn to attack a piece so that it cannot move because an important piece or square behind it would be attacked if the "pinned" piece moved away. The student will learn that there are two kinds of Pins--The Absolute Pin and The Relative Pin. After the lesson, the student will be able to practice against other Outschool...
The students will become stronger chess players as they learn how to master Pins and by playing chess games on-line.
Homework Offered
Students will receive chess puzzle sheets to be printed out. The chess puzzle sheets will be discussed in class to make sure all students understand how to solve them.0 - 1 hours per week outside of class
