Skewer (chess)
text:
In chess, a skewer is an attack upon two pieces in a line. It is similar to a pin, with the difference being that in a skewer, the more valuable piece is usually the one under direct attack, while the less valuable piece is behind it. The opponent is compelled to move the more valuable piece to avoid its capture, thereby exposing the less valuable piece which can then be captured. Only line pieces can skewer; kings, knights, and pawns cannot.
