I liked how the threat of a rook fork lead to a bishop fork instead, from this position here
Originally posted by ExumaThis is not really a fork is it; more like a form of skewer where both men are undefended (and in this case they are the same value), and no move can defend both of them. Any suggestions for a more distinctive name ?
