The Fork

The fork is a very common weapon in chess and therefore a must-know. It is when a piece attacks two or more enemy pieces.

Tips for using the board below: If you tap the f3-square, that'll take you to the next game. C3 will take you back to the previous one. If you tap e7, that will flip the board. Note that once you've flipped the board, the functions don't flip, so e7 becomes d2, f3 becomes c6 and c3 becomes f6. Many more squares have functions, I'll let you discover them for yourself if you want to.
