Relative Chess Pin Attack:
Part of the Chess Pin Attack, Tactics Guide
These include attacks where their victim is pinned against a more-valuable Piece, but excludes the enemy King.
In this instance, if it's deemed tactically beneficial, the Pawn or Piece assumed to be Pinned CAN move, exposing the MORE-valuable Piece to the attack ...
But, beware! It may be a cunning trap, designed to lure a specific piece away from its position, for the sake of a greedy capture.
The Pin Attack: Black's Bb6 against White's Nd4, which defends Re3.
The Pin Attack: White's Re1 against Black's Bd4, which defends Nd8.
