What is a skewer?

A skewer is a pin reversed: the more valuable piece stands in front and must move, exposing the piece behind it to capture. King-and-rook skewers decide countless endgames.

How to spot it

Watch for a king or queen standing on the same open line as a less defended piece behind it. A check or a threat that forces the front piece to step aside completes the pattern.

What this set trains

Skewer sets sharpen your feel for open lines and for driving royal pieces onto fatal ranks, files and diagonals.
