Body: <p>This is a common tactic in various openings. It goes like this:</p>
  <ul>
  <li>A bishop pins your knight to your queen</li>
  <li>You sacrifice your bishop with check to attract the king forward</li>
  <li>You give a check with your &quot;pinned&quot; knight to win the bishop that pinned you</li>
  </ul>
  <p>Here is an example:</p>
  <pre><code>[FEN &quot;rn1qkb1r/pp3ppp/2p2n2/4p3/2BPP1b1/5N2/PPP3PP/RNBQK2R w KQkq - 4 7&quot;]
  
  7. Bxf7+! Kxf7 8. Nxe5+ Kg8 9. Nxg4
  </code></pre>
  <p>Does this tactic have a name?</p>

Comments.Text: doesn't have a special name afaik like 'hook and ladder' but does appear  to be a combination of attraction, fork, pin, sacrifice, hanging piece (the pawn), [attacking f2 or f7](https://lichess.org/training/attackingF2F7). if it has a special name, then i wanna know. *clicks follow*. edit: to be more specific, i believe it's not an [absolute pin](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pin_(chess)#Types)

  This is a common tactic in various openings. It goes like this:
  
  A bishop pins your knight to your queen
  You sacrifice your bishop with check to attract the king forward
  You give a check with your "pinned" knight to win the bishop that pinned you
  
  Here is an example:
  [FEN "rn1qkb1r/pp3ppp/2p2n2/4p3/2BPP1b1/5N2/PPP3PP/RNBQK2R w KQkq - 4 7"]
  
  7. Bxf7+! Kxf7 8. Nxe5+ Kg8 9. Nxg4
  
  Does this tactic have a name?
