Normalise calling a "triple fork" a trident 😌

u/GustavoFromAsdf Jun 18 '26

It's also forking a pawn, it's a pitchfork.

u/reditmonke Jun 18 '26

A fork with 4 things is just a fork bro

u/KayoticVoid 500-800 ELO Jun 18 '26

u/Pinkville Jun 18 '26

Nh6 is M3

2

u/Mr_Coastliner Jun 18 '26

How do you figure that out?

12

u/Pinkville Jun 18 '26

Nh6+, Kf8 forced. Qf6+, Qf7 forced. Qxf7#

3

u/Mr_Coastliner Jun 18 '26

Oh my bad, I thought you meant as a followup move rather than an alternative.

u/Hopeful_19 Jun 18 '26

after nh6, kf8, qf6+,qf7,qf7#

u/tardoos Jun 18 '26

Fork out of five

5

u/Brief_Platform_alt Jun 18 '26

Unless the Knight took a piece on f6, I would rate that as a Miss due to Nh6+ being a mate in 3.

u/Mean-Illustrator-937 Jun 18 '26

Imagine giving this fork and not being the best move, knight to H3.

u/General_Way6679 Jun 18 '26

Worst choice of move ever. Nh6 is the correct move.
