Learn how to Unpin: essential Knowledge

A pin is an unpleasant situation, where you could lose material or ruin your pawn structure. And your opponent blocks two of your valuable pieces with one of his.

You will find a dozen examples to teach you how to unpin, do not reinvent the wheel over the board.

If you read other books of mine you will recognize some of the patterns, but here they are arranged in a systematic way.
But here you have to understand, therefore this book includes some puzzle, to help you understand and remember.

A good visualization is needed, or the use of a board.
This book also contains links to additional material and games on my site. These are not essential to the enjoyment of this book, but if you have an Internet connection, you will find this material worthwhile. Here is a sample game to test your browser: http://scacchi.vecchilibri.eu/partite/ponziani.html

Novice players are the target of this book, class D, up to 1300 Elo rating.

Enjoy the book and your games.
