knights are dangerous.. but only in the opening.. like here.. but when you start to get to middlegame, they get useless..

i disagree, knights are always the best way to get amazing forks that a queen cannot thwart.  They are afterall the only piece that a queen cannot mimic.

This is an alternate line.

 I don't think the queen and bishop loss for a rook is a good swap for black here.

Guys, you're probably going mad... In the puzzle line black loses the queen for a knight. In the alternate line with 1...Qxd1 black changes queen and loses only the bishop... The alternate line was quite better.

knights are better than bishops for forks (no offence intended for those who voted bishop)
