allow the pin. avoid h3 and a3 like the plague. Those moves weaken your position and will cause more defeats than the pin will

@aww-rats: are there any good online references you could give that demonstrate how to take advantage of the h3 or a3 weakness?
I've always heard it creates a weakness, and try to avoid it when I can. But I've never really understood how to take advantage of it.
I think it creates a breaking point. It could be possible to advance a pawn to, say, g4, or even sac a piece against h3 in order to expose the castled king.

LearnHard, I would recommend you to check out his youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/BobbyJFischer1943/featured .
In the teammatch series you will find plenty of games where players play the early a3 and h3. In a lot of those videos it is explained and even showed how it can be exploited.

Hello all. Can anyone tell me how to avoid the bishop pin about the 2nd move in. It is greatly annoying and i have lost 6 in a row because of that pin. I am pretty frustrated since it's impossible to defend. White can throw all his units in it while I am cramped trying to get units over. does anyone have a suggestion. I've tried getting that h3 or a3 pawn in but it's usually one move behind. I have also been black those games.
