Line 40: + + + + + + + + + + + + − *'''Forking''' - attacking two undefended pieces simultaneously with one piece of your own. This forces your opponent to, essentially, choose which piece he will lose. Knights are especialy adept at Forking because their method of movement allows them to attack any other kind of piece without being under attack from that piece.

This creates a situation in where the opponent cannot move the piece in question without losing the more valuable piece behind it, effectively "pinning" the piece. A pinned piece can be easily taken. − *'''The Pickle'''-This is a special gambit in chess that may work on inexperienced players. By pushing king's pawn as your opening move. If your opponent pushes kings pawn as well (the most common response to kings pawn is to push kings pawn), then move the queen to h5 on the board. If the player is ambitious, they will most likely advance the knight's pawn to g6 to attack your queen. At that point, move the queen to take the king's pawn on e6. This will place the king in check, forcing him to block the check with a piece. Then, since he moved his knight's pawn, the path will be clear for you to capture the kings rook, effectively removing one pawn and one rook from the game by turn 7 and imbedding your queen behind his front lines.

===Moves which win material===
====Forking====
Attacking two undefended pieces simultaneously with one piece of your own. This forces your opponent to, essentially, choose which piece he will lose. Knights are especialy adept at Forking because their method of movement allows them to attack any other kind of piece without being under attack from that piece. Forks in which the enemy King is one of the pieces under attack are especialy effective because they force the opponent to move the king, leaving no choice as to which piece to move. While the knight is the most adept at forking, all of the other pieces are capable of it.
One example of the fork is called '''"The Pickle"'''. A inexperienced player can be tricked into losing one of his rooks in the following manner. You move your king pawn forward 2 squares. Your opponent pushes his kings pawn up 2 squares as well. (the most common response) You move your queen out diagonaly to the right all the way to the edge of the board. If the other player is ambitious, they will most likely advance the knight's pawn 1 square to attack your queen. At that point, you move to capture your opponent's king pawn with your queen. This will place the king in check, forcing him to block the check with a piece. Then, since he moved his knight's pawn, the path will be clear for you to capture the kings rook. this sets you up with one of his rooks out of the way, and you have controll over the center of the board.
====Pinning====
This strategy involves maneuvering your piece, so that there is an enemy piece in between your attacking piece and another more valuable enemy piece. This creates a situation in where the opponent cannot move the piece in question without losing the more valuable piece behind it, effectively "pinning" the piece. A pinned piece can be easily taken.
===Other Strategy===
*'''"Double-filing"''' - placing two Rooks in line with each other creates a very powerful vertical or horizontal force along that line.

*'''Sacrificing for Position'''- This involves intentionally allowing your opponent to take a piece, in order to open up for a counter attack. By offering up the piece, the opponent may weaken his defenses by attacking it, allowing for a decisive strike.
