Lesson #7: Forks or Double Attacks

We learned today how to attack two pieces at one time. The worksheets below will exercise your understanding, with fork puzzles involving knights and queens.

A couple of the problems are advanced, requiring you to attack not just two pieces, but a piece and a square. For these, imagine where your queen or knight would love to be (perhaps it would make a checkmate) and see if you can combine that location with a hanging piece. In at least one puzzle, you'll have to incorporate your understanding of the pin from lesson #5.
