Example: “impaled” lady

Template: checkerboard-small / maintenance / newThe skewer is related to the bondage , with the main difference that here the more valuable figure stands before the one with a lower value. The opponent is urged to bring this piece to safety, whereby the lower value piece is exposed and can be defeated. A spit can only be realized with a queen, bishop or rook.

In the example on the left, the black queen is “impaled” by the white bishop. The black player will sensibly move the queen, making the rook vulnerable. The problem in this example is not absolute: the black player will in all likelihood remove the queen from the threat, but does not necessarily have to.

impaled king

Template: checkerboard-small / maintenance / newIn contrast to this, in the second example (right) the white king is “impaled” in an absolute way: he cannot beat the black bishop, and he cannot remain in check. Therefore must white carry the king. Black gives his bishop for the white queen and thus gains sufficient material advantage to win the game. Spits are less common than bondage in games between skilled chess players. However, they are stronger, since the attacked player can only rarely avoid a loss of material, and they often have a decisive effect on the game.
