In a fork, you attack two or more of your
opponent’s pieces in one move. Because
ge cab only move one at a time, he will have to give one up to your
attacker. A fork is sometimes called a
‘double attack’.
In the diagram below, what move can White make
to capture Black’s Queen? Thats right –
Nf7+. Do you see what that does? Not only is Black in check, his Queen is
attacked, too! After the King moves,
White will chop off the Queen with Nxd8.
If it were Black’s move, however, he could play b5. This forks White’s Bishop and Knight! White can only save one, and the other is
doomed.
