Knife? What chess tactic is that? Can you explain it to me in detail?

ArcadesGriffith

what is a knife or fork in chess??

YeOldeWildman

The knights are so small on most chess sets that they have to carry knives instead of swords...

a fork is when a piece directly attacks two or more pieces at the same time

knife is not a chess term

Oh, so placing the knight to check but attempting to capture the turret at the same time is a fork, did i get it?

Yes, assuming by "turrent", you mean "rook".

black to play to kill this group.

Seriously....I recently started playing Go over at OGS....I have to say I absolutely love this game.There's such harmony and beauty in this game,and without the opening theory that dominates chess.There's so much to learn.

CerebralAssassin19

Haven't gotten that far yet .I know simple concepts like hane,atari,life and death etc,ko etc.

Can white run upwards? Because that's how it looks like and if this is the case then the group is pretty much unkillable. Black can capture 4 stones in gote with Q2 but that's small.

Great! I think so too! There is a lot of harmony and beauty? What's your username in OGS? I want to challenge you.

Q2 should be point, but that's small.

You are correct...I worded it incorrectly.black to move to kill a few stones (the four stones in the corner).

It has been 20 years since I have played go, but I used to be decent, but I think the whole group can be killed. It will hinge on S8 not being a valid "me". Not sure though...where is our local Go expert?

Jimmykay

yes petrip...I assumed we were looking at a beginner puzzle with a small board
