Re: Play Winning Chess
I remember an Andrew Martin commentary on the british a few years ago, where combination pin/skewers were discussed (I think Rook in front of Rook) and some debate about the correct terminology ... kebab was suggested.

I always understood that the authoritative source for all this was "Chess for Children". That's how I was taught it, anyway!

Re: Play Winning Chess
A piece may be pinned against a key square not just another piece. eg white to move:-
If W plays Rh7 the knight is pinned against the square a7. moving the knight results in Ra7 mate.
If black attempts to free himself with Kb7 white replies Nd4 and the Knight on g7 is pinned against the black king.

Re: book diagrams
For me, very. If only to make the page look easier to read.
The book you are translating is a beginner's book. It definitely needs the diagrams.

Re: book diagrams
I have made diagrams, but they differ in size and resolution, particularly since I am forced to juxtapose some diagrams sometimes.
