Folks, I'm a fairly bad player who is completely out of the loop on chess terminology - so I come here seeking knowledge.
Is there a specific chess term that applies to the following situation: When you move your knight (or any other piece, I guess) into check and you also have a clean kill on another piece. The king has to move and you swipe the secondary piece from your opponent.
And I'll spare the comedians some effort. I know that the proper chess term is not "getting f...ed", or "the lesser of two evils" or "you're screwed".😀
I thank everyone in advance for passing on the opportunity to be a smart ass - just looking for the right terminology here folks.
