A fork is a chess term for when one piece simultaneously attacks two enemy pieces or pawns. This often results in a loss of material for the side receiving the fork. A "royal fork" is when the queen and king are both attacked at the same time.

it is a awesome thing to use. I have used it a million times. Though it is hard to get in that position.

In the diagram black can move his king to defend the queen... why hasn't anyone thought of that?
