Fork Vs Double attack
Do you know the difference between a Fork and a Double attack?“Modern chess is too much concerned with things like pawn structure. Forget it, checkmate ends the game.” – Nigel Short
I have noticed that all newcomers have this suspicion for a long time. Now it has to be crystal clear to us. Let's take a look at their definition first.....
- Fork - It is a tactic in which a piece attacks two or more pieces simultaneously.
- Double attack - It is a tactic which a piece creates two simultaneous threats against their opponent.
Let's take a closer look at this....
| Tactic | Fork | Double attack |
|---|---|---|
| Attack over 2 or more pieces | ️YES | ️YES |
| Attack over 2 Squares | NO | ️YES |
| Attack over 1 Square & 1 Piece | NO | ️YES |
See this example....
