Two types of pins are demonstrated in the
diagram at the bottom. White’s
white-squared Bishop is pinning Black’s Queen to the King in an absolute
pin. In an absolute pin, the pinned
piece (Black’s Queen) can’t move away, because it would leace the King under
attack.
Black’s white-squared Bishop is also pinning
White’s Knight to the Queen. The
difference here is that this pin is a relative pin. The pinned piece is able to move, but doing
so would bring great harm to his position.
Here if the Knight moves, the Queen would be capured by the Black
Bishop.
