The Pin

In the first part of the series Sohan had explained to us his very own attacking principle known as the "Window Slide", in part-II he delves into a universally known idea. The topic of this part is "pin" and Sohan brings us some unique positions that give us fresh new perspective of the classical theme. We have five positions below for you to solve and at the end of it you will find the video where the solutions are unveiled in full details.
