So in the quoted post here above we see two cases of the enemy falling two times victim to a Pin, and he loses two pieces on the same square, and all that because of the same Pin.
In this battle
https://lichess.org/N5TwHPJGGURU I started with the Zukertort, and I got a Tennison gambit on the battlefield.
I would have gone for the easy & quick trap, but because the enemy started to defend his pawn with his bishop in stead of the much more common protection by the horse, according to the principle that we develop the horses before the bishops, therefore I could not go for the quick & easy trap.
Since the enemy was rated on Lichess 1876, for me a frightening high rating, I decided to go for the deep and complicated Smirnov trap.
And lo and behold, what happened was that, again, the enemy lost two pieces on the same square, because of the same Pin.
That is the third time in a relative short time span that the enemy loses two pieces on the same square because of the same Pin.
This is another brutal example of The Pin being mightier than the sword.
There is no denying it anymore.
