How to practise: Knight fork puzzles
Find a knight move attacking the king and another valuable piece. After the reply to check, complete the capture.
Check before you move
- Read the side-to-move label: you may play White or Black.
- Find your candidate move and the opponent’s strongest legal reply.
- Explain why the final position achieves the puzzle’s goal.
A common mistake
The first check is only the start. Verify that the knight is safe and the second target can still be captured.
