What is a Pin?
A pin occurs when a piece is attacked and moving it would expose a more valuable piece (or the king) to capture. Pins are divided into two types:

• Absolute Pins – The piece cannot legally move because it would expose the king to check
• Relative Pins – The piece can legally move but doing so would lose material (usually a more valuable piece)
