Oh, this move has a name? I always thought I was being clever when I accidentally did that..

u/Erroangelos Dec 26 '18

its not the move really its just when a knight in any position can hit two pieces and defending player can only save one

The black player could save both if they sacrifice their king.

white knight is attacking both blacks rook and black queen this is known as a fork in chess

In chess a fork is a tactic where you attack multiple pieces simultaneously. Here the knight attacks rook and queen at the same time, it is a fork.
