Have a look at this position. How can White play a QUEEN FORK? Remember to enter your move in computer notation. |
Here's the answer. Move the Queen to h5. Just take a look. You're CHECKING the Black King and THREATENING the Bishop on c5. Black must get out of check, so next move you can capture the Bishop. OK? |
If you understood the last question you should get this one right. Again it's White's move. Over to you, kiddo. |
This time it's Black who gets to have a go at finding a Queen Fork. Look carefully at the board and type in your answer. |
Black cannot get out of check and save his Bishop at the same time. Note that if his pawn was on e2, not e3, he could play either his Queen or his Bishop to d2. |
If you got the last one right, this should be easy. It's Black's move again. |
Yes, it's the same thing again. Black's FORK spears the Knight and the King. These FORKS happen over and over again. Get used to them!! |
What you are you going to play here, Buster? |
Yes, it's the same thing yet again! Are you getting used to it yet? White has a King on one prong and a Knight on the other one. |
I bet you're not smart enough to get this one right! It's a little bit different from what you've seen before. It's White's move again. |
