Decoy (The Set-up): You move a piece (often a pawn or a minor piece) to a square where the opponent's Queen is forced to capture it. This forces the Queen to a specific, exposed square.
The Sacrifice/Trade (The Capture): The Queen takes your Decoy piece, landing on the specific square you intended.
The Fork (The Finish): Your Knight then moves to a square where it attacks both the now-exposed Queen and another valuable piece (like the King or a Rook), forcing your opponent to lose their Queen.
for me this seem like the hardest chess move to pull off at my level.
Is their a name for this?
