The puzzles I'm submitting are for absolute beginners still learning how the pieces move. You're not meant to look for the best move but for the specific type of move or position given.

In this example, 'fork' your opponent using a Knight.

Sorry. I added the following description to the original post.

I also try to include a counter-move of the same type that the player may not have noticed.
