which knight's fork is your most/least favorite?

I almost never encounter the 3rd type of fork in my games.

I like it when the knight forks 8 pieces at once.

Question: could all four knights each fork 8 pieces at once? Let me see if I can set up such a position.

(not a legal position)

I don't care about the position of the pieces, but I prefer the variant when a queen and king are forked :)

Not if they are your queen and king, unless you are a masochist.

Well all of those are draws, so I'll go with the fourth one.  To me it is the most visually appealing.  There's a look of balance to it.

A knight can't fork eight pieces - where the heck could it have moved from?

A knight can fork seven pieces, with the eighth piece moving into the fork to complete the circle. Do pawns count as pieces? If not, you have to perform at least two promotions for pieces to fork (king doesn't work because he can't move into or stay in check, and you can't attack both bishops at the same time with a knight). It's a matter of definition; if you can manufacture an "eight piece fork" by having the eighth piece move into range, that's fine. If the knight has to perform an actual forking move, seven is the maximum.

Why should I prefer one king/rook configuration over another in the examples you gave? All 3 are drawn. Another pointless thread designed by EO_____ for trolling.

knight forks that involved enemy pinned pieces (n pawns ) :P

yes, quantum mechanics say that you can have a black knight and a white knight in the same position, and 2 white knights in the same position.

Bughouse.

   I've been able to pull of a King/Queen fork only a few times, so I would say that is my favorite. But a King/Rook or Queen/Rook is good too

I don´t like anyone in this position ´cuz they are  just draws

the family fork--k-q-r-r

Whether I like it or not I am gonna lose my Rook!!

Best fork position is when they can't move their king to take your knight when you take their rook
