Deep Fork
Sort:
That’s a sick fork.
Analysis says it’s better to promote to queen tho. It’s like +6 for knight promote and +13 for queen promote.

Are you sure? It is pretty obvious that a knight fork is better, since it just simplifies. The computer probably saw an attacking line with the rook, queen, and knight.
I just clicked the self analysis button. I’m pretty sure it’s what it said. I thought it seemed weird tho.
Yes I checked again it actually said +14 for queen promote. Not sure why lol.

I’ve seen this one in other books, or at least one other book. Maybe Alburt’s Chess Training Pocket Book.

I think letting the Black Queen on the board is more dangerous. Being up the exchange and a distant pawn looks almost unstoppable.

Alburt’s exercise inspired this one that I created as part of my elementary set for young players, and then put into a self-published book.
This position, offered in Secrets of the Russian Chess Masters: Beyond the Basics by Lev Alburt and Larry Parr, demonstrates a most unlikely fork that gives White a winning game from what seems to be essentially an inferior position.
