Skewer Puzzles — Attack Through the Line

A skewer is the reverse of a pin: you attack a valuable piece that's forced to move, revealing a less valuable piece behind it that you then capture. It's most common with long-range pieces like rooks, bishops, and queens lined up against the enemy king or queen.
