Learn How to Win with a Fork: Englund Gambit Tactic
This puzzle comes from the Englund Gambit and shows how a sharp middlegame attack can punish an exposed king. White’s pieces are already active, and the key idea is to use a forcing check to drag the black king into a vulnerable square. Once the king is displaced, a second tactical jump creates a fork that wins material and keeps the attack alive. The position is a classic example of how king safety can outweigh material.
