Ok let's go: Skewers are the opposite of pins, that means that you attack a more valuable piece, and if it moves (and it should move, otherwise the defending side will lose even more material, especially in cases with kings), the less valuable piece can be captured.

The bishop on c3 is attacking the king on e5 (check), and because capturing the king is illegal, he has to move, and the less valuable piece behind the king(rook) is lost. White's winning.
