Learn How to Win Material: Fork Tactic
This middlegame puzzle comes from the Queen's Gambit Declined, Tarrasch Defense, where piece activity and king safety collide. White’s queen and bishop create strong pressure, but Black has a tactical resource that turns the position around by attacking multiple targets at once. The key idea is a forcing move that gives check while also creating a fork on a valuable piece, leading to a decisive material gain. In classical chess, these short tactical shots often decide the game immediately.
