Fork (chess)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
In
chess, a fork is a move that uses one piece to attack two
of the opponent's pieces at the same time, hoping to achieve material advantage
because the opponent can only counter one of the two threats.
Knights are often used for forks: they jump to a position from where they
attack two pieces. In the diagram to the left, the white knight is forking the
black
king and
rook. It is particularly effective to fork a king: the rules require
immediate attention to a threat to the king. In this situation, black cannot
choose to defend another piece, he cannot make an intermediate move to
complicate the situation; he must move the king, after which white can capture
the rook.
Pawns can also fork enemy pieces: by moving a pawn forward, it may attack
two pieces: one diagonally to the left and one diagonally to the right.In the
diagram, the black pawn is forking the two white rooks. (Remember that by
convention the board is oriented with black's first row at the top, so the black pawn is
moving downward.)
A
queen move also often attacks two pieces at the same time, but this is only
useful if both pieces are undefended. Since the queen is more valuable than the
pieces it is attacking, it is usually only profitable for it to capture
undefended pieces.
A "royal fork" is sometimes used to describe the situation where the King and
Queen are forked.
