Fork (chess)

From Conservapedia - Reading time: 1 min

A fork in chess is when one piece attacks two opponent pieces simultaneously, forcing the other side to give up one of those attacked pieces in a capture.

Pawn forks are the simplest type of fork,[1] but all pieces are capable of achieving a fork. Forks by knights against an opposing king and rook, or a queen and rook, are particularly devastating.
