Nice puzzle, but I don't see how you stand to profit from this exchange.

It's not a trick. After Queen takes knight, black's up a piece no matter what white does.. ;)

Classic - and will everyone who has never been caught by this fork please raise your hand? (tick...tick...tick....tick). Hmmmm. I guess we've all fallen victim. Probably even Messrs. Fisher and Kasparov at some time.

Quite an easy one, but I initially made the mistake of going after the rook instead of the queen.  Thank you!

I was thinking of that too, but the knight on d4 could take instead.... Undecided

Nice drawing the queen out so a fork can be established!
