In chess there is an important thing to do, which is to calculate but more than likely understand tactics. Indeed, tactics don't come in handy if we don't understand pins. A pin is when a piece is in immobile and stays frozen by the attack of the opposite piece, this can be the white pawn pin to the white king. So in this game I sacrifice a knight to proceed to checkmate the white king and align both rooks, and with the support of the bishop with a strong battery along the diagonal.
