@@cleiru7859 In this case you're clearly right. I'm wondering tho, in a typical middle game, isn't it more common for a bishop to be tucked away on the back rank for later use, as Agadmator says sometimes? Knights might need more time to get back into the game. But it is true that knights are usually great defenders of the king.

It's rare, but known, most famously in Aronian-Anand 2013 (Tata Steel) "Rubinstein's Homage" with 14..Bc5 15..Nde5. I've informally collected 7 other games of self-fork, and 5 of permitting a pawn fork. That makes it about as rare as Anastasia :) Fischer-Tal 1959 (Bled-Zagreb-Belgrade Candidates) had 12.Nxf5 13.Bd5 from prep, but Tal saw everything and won the endgame. Most spectacular might be Yu Yangyi-Li Shilong 2012 (Chinese Championships) 31.Nxe5 32.Qxc5!! simplifying QRNP for QRBPP, and that 1 extra pawn wins.

Because Qxd4. After black defends the knight with either queen or rook, for example ...Qa6, then white plays Qe5+. The only move from here for black is to block the check with the bishop and lose the kight. Every other move is mate in 10 or sth for white.

@@nicbentulan Well, that's good. You should definitely keep doing that. But I can't help but notice you also show extreme levels of Obsession and Fixation. In terms of Chess, this primarily manifests itself in an extreme demonisation of Magnus Carlsen, and an extreme glorification of Wesley So, even going so far as to write lengthy and multiple comments about them when they have nothing to do with either the video/game in question, and/or with the conversation. In other words: those 2 occupy your mind to such an extent that you can't help bringing them up, and either lambasting them or singing their praises (depending on which of the 2 we are talking about, of course), even when there is no external reason whatsoever for doing so. It is only your internal obsession, and nothing else, that drives you to bring them up in conversation. This is worrying from a Mental Health perspective. Which is why I strongly recommend talking with a Psychologist or Psychiatrist about these obsessive fixations. Luckily, it seems you already have one (or maybe even multiple?), meaning it shouldn't be too hard to bring it up in one of your meetings with them.
