→Strategy
:'''Forking''' - attacking two undefended pieces simultaneously with one piece of your own. This forces your opponent to, essentially, choose which piece to sacrifice. Forking between rooks is a common strategy, especially with a knight. Forking between a rook and a king is common, too, since the player obviously cannot surrender his King!
