Pins are annoying. Really. But here's a way to take advantage of pins... to your advantage.

This uses the queen as bait so that white can checkmate black. This is known as the Legal Trap.

People like to play the four-move checkmate because of this.

White wins quickly because black this down a rook.

First one : 5. Nxe5?? Nxe5! -+  Black is winning. The Legal doesn't work when there is a black knight on c6.
