Watch For The Pinned Protector
White has two pawns, one positioned to protect the other. But black's bishop has pinned the pawn at f2. If black's queen takes the pawn at g3, white cannot use the f2 pawn to take back, because doing so would expose the king to a check from black's bishop.If it is white's move, he can protect against this attack by moving his king from behind the f2 pawn, for example, by advancing to g2, where he could protect both pawns, or moving to f1, protecting the f2 pawn, which, freed from the pin, would protect the pawn at g3.
