Hi there.
In this lecture, we're going to introduce the concept of a fork, a fork is when you use a single piece
and you double take two of the opponent's pieces.
So it's a great way of winning material quite often.
So here won't play.
Can you see a way of using a so-called fork if I give you five seconds supposably a.
OK, well, your knights attacked as the first point to note, so you shouldn't really be using the
rock here in general unless you can do a check, but you can do much better than this check.
You can actually turn the balance of material in your favor here by using this check.
So not moving on this track and we're forking the queen and the king.
And then after we win that coin, we can win the end game quite easily.
Broken King versus King.
We can win that position quite easily.
So the fork is essentially it uses the same piece to kind of double attack pieces and the opponents
camp.
So that's a basic fork.
It's a very, very useful device.
It's an example of overwhelming the opponent with a single move.
Sometimes they cannot respond, especially if the fork includes a check because they're legally required
here to respond to the check.
So they really have no time in this particular case.
After this check, they have to move their king here.
OK, I hope that's clear.
That's how much.
