sure its a great fork, but it only lasts for one turn.

Another way to look at it would be that black will be a queen down permanently.

does it? both black horseys can just take the white horsey and the forking is over.

Can't you just use E7 to counter it?

Of course. The bishop at h4 will be stunned at seeing this pro gamer move and won’t be able to capture the king.

No, it is pinned

Ah, I see now

I'm not much of a chess player, but I guess I should've seen that coming

But it can't be taken bc of pins so I don't think it actually gets a brilliant does it?

After Ke8, Qg2... Bb7 gets out of the mess fine. Therefore white has no advantage /s

Qg2? Brilliant.

Isn't this called a Royal Flush?
