Relative Chess Skewer Attack
[Introduction]
A Relative Skewer, is usually one where the forward piece being attacked is in a direct line, infront of a lesser-valued piece.
The forward piece could be a Rook; the rear piece a Bishop. In this case, the Rook is more valuable, so it's most likely the Bishop that would be sacrificed, with the Rook being moved clear of the attack.
