Counting Captures

It's usually a good idea to capture something if you have more attacking pieces than the opponent has defending pieces. That way you will get to make the first and last capture.

Pins

A pin occurs when a piece is under attack and cannot move without exposing a more valuable piece to capture. An absolute pin occurs when a piece is pinned against a king.

Piling Up

Once you have pinned a piece, it can't or shouldn't move. Often the best way to take advantage is to add more attacking pieces until the pinned piece can be captured in the best way.
