The knight fork is certainly a dangerous weapon in the arsenal of the advance chess player. Our theme today is the knight fork. In the diagram position white to play can win. Here is how.
1.Rxe5!! is winning because black will be a piece down. If Black decides to capture the rook with either 1...dxe5 or 1...Rxe5 white will continue with 2.Nf7+ winning the queen.
After the King moves the Knight simply captures the Queen on d8 (3.Nxd8). The knight can be a very dangerous piece especially if it's close to the enemy pieces. Always try to look for knight forks in your chess games. It can win you many chess battles. Good luck with your next chess game.
Look out for the Knight Forks!!
