Knights forks are special since they can fork any piece except knight

the bishop fork

Bishop can fork a rook but not queen

The bishop forking King and Queen but make sure once your fork queen andking your bishop is protected by a king for example

That of black that he keep KQ on same colors and diagonal to avoid bishop fork in endgames keep your valuable pieces on different diagonals or dark squares if its light square bishop

THE ROOOOK fork.

The rook fork is actually really easy everything that you need get on line where a King and Bishop for example make sure that king isnt to close to bishop so he could go from check and protect it, or bishop could close a check with protection of king With KB you can change With NB

Pattern

We see that rook is attacking a king and bishop the king cant protect the Bishop anyhow its too far from him

In KB, KR its mostly a draw. But fork with rook saves this game.

Andd the last forks patterns are king and Queen

Queen fork. The queen fork is kinda easy since queen has movements of Bishop+rook and it can fork a bishop and knight for example or rook and king by diagonal.

Pattern

Queen.jpegThe queen attakcs a King, knight, bishop which turns position into absolutely winning
Avoid queen fork is kinda hard because of the movements and unexpected attacks

The last fork is KING

Yes the king aslo can fork but his forks are not that good as previous forks

The king attacks bishop and knight and black king is to far to save both

This basic patterns of forking with every piece in chess. I hope it will help some beginners that just started chess
