Learn How to Win with a Fork: Three Knights Opening
This puzzle comes from the Three Knights Opening and shows how quickly a small development lead can turn into a tactical win. White’s queen and pieces look active, but the king is still exposed in the center and the coordination is loose. Black’s best idea is a forcing check that creates a fork-like tactical sequence, winning time and exploiting the king’s lack of shelter. In classical chess, these short opening tactics often decide the game before the middlegame fully begins.
