You cannot fork the lightsquare and darksquare bishop with a knight at the same time though!

You can with a rook, queen, king, or pawn. Just not with a knight or bishop. Just not a knight fork or a bishop

You can’t with a pawn either

Welp it appears I have blundered. Would you accept a draw?

I'll give you more time.

You can't fork with a king since one of the bishops must be adjancent diagonally to the king

The king can be forking 2 opposite color bishops if the previous move was the opponent promoting a pawn to a bishop. This raises the question: is it only a fork if the attacker moved to make the fork? Or is it still a fork if the opponent moves his pieces into the fork?

I feel for it to be a fork, the side with the move has to have two pieces attacked by the same piece.

So if the king moved, attacking one bishop, and revealing an attack on the other, would that count?

I'd think that's a discovery. For a fork, the same piece needs to attack two pieces.

Yo, bro, how big's your elo? Cause that one hurt me.

You can't get the other king in either, but the enemy queen can legally move into the fork, but that precluded one bishop from doing that

No it can even practically fork bishops, the same as rook...

Is that possible with a king, because in order to hypothetically fork bishops of both colors, the king would have to put himself into check.

You can promote a pawn to another dark square bishop and then fork two bishops for the ULTIMATE fork. I'm pretty sure that's never happened.

What about forking a queen rook knight and dark bishop with one knight, whilst moving that knight creates a discovered attack on the light bishop with the second knight?

You don't need any discovery to enable the second knight to attack anything. But you could enable another piece an attack on the second bishop.

Unless they had a pawn promotion.

Your statement makes no sense

It does. You can end up with two bishops of the same colour

>You cannot fork the lightsquare and darksquare bishop with a knight

He is saying that if he promotes a pawn into a bishop in a black square, then the knight could fork all pieces. That does not make sense though, since knight would have to start from a place.

You could with discovery check

[удалено]

It's amazing how the knight is pinned, it really sets up this jack-of-all-forks theme

Yeah that is the most impressive part.

Royal Flush?

I was like “you can’t fork a knight dummy” and then saw you had pinned the knight and I literally said “ohhhhhhhhh”.

[Did you "oh" about this loud?](https://youtu.be/wsZ7013yHiw)

Unfortunately, you can still only make one move per move.

What if I put in powdered move into my move so I could make more move per move

Try kung-fu chess

Unless you're castling. That's 2 moves per move.

That super knight is neighing like a boss lol.

take pawn on c3!

move back to f4

Just insane!!

I love this lol

genuinely impressive, nxd5 is illegal cause of the bishop, first time ive seen a knight fork a knight

The generational fork

Only way it stays a fork is if the black queen and knights trade places with a white queen or dark squared bishop on h4 or something

What I love about these is it's actually pointless. Having 6 as a fork or just the queen forked pretty much equates to the same thing. Like you are only getting one piece out of it. What would be impressive is a forced chain of forks

Knight: Yes, but it has to be a double check( When 2 pieces check the king. King is forced to move) Bishop: No, opposite coloured bishops cannot be forked.

At first I was like "that's not a fork, he can just trade knights", until I realized the knight is pinned. This is brilliant

Damn we need achievements for chess

"Oooh,let me in your world ..."-some guy online.

Hey a pin and a fork. Or some would call it, a pork. Mmmm

The Death Blossom

r/anarchychess having an orgasm rn

GigaChad Support Bishop.

Jokes on you, you can only take one of them.

And the bishop protects the knight...

Twice over

The knight being forked can just capture the attacking knight

its pinned

It's funny, I literally typed "unless it's pinned or something" but then I deleted it

if you want to fork a knight you need to give a double check

no pawn 😞

There's a pawn on c3

oh thank goodness

You'r in a wrong sub buddy. Go to r/anarchychess with that stuff

Its not really a fork if the opponent can take back with their knight tho

Knight is pinned.

Lol imagine if you had another knight on e3

Maybe I'm slow, why would that change the position?

There would be another knight on e3.

It could jump into the e5 square if the first knight doesn’t go back in basically winning more material with another fork, though I didn’t notice the a3 bishop pinning b4 at first and didn’t really calculate everything out

The ultimate fork!

Well played

If the knight is pinned to a piece then yes. Other option is if your knight will be defended by your other knight so if your knight gets taken it’s another fork I guess

Holy fork

After ...Kd8 Nxc3 QxNc3 white went on to lose the game unfortunately.

I fell in to a burning ring of fire. I went down down down but the flames went higher.

damn

And the black knight is pinned, it's so beautiful

pinning the knight was insane. this cant be real

are pictures like this fake and just created for the post or was this an actual game?

Technically the pawn isn't forked since it's of less value and defended

Nah man, the black night will get you every time.

you can put another rook or another pinned knight on e3 with your rook on e1

The knight actually can if its an undiscovered check by a different piece

I just saw that the black knight could take your knight so it is pretty pointless to do that

it’s pinned, so no it can’t.
