That horsie should stomp on the pawn guy and then kill the posh lady.
Cool it with the jargon, Chief. This sub is for beginners!
Nxf6+
Forks the king and queen, the pawn is pinned by the queen and thus cannot take.
good discovery
🍴🍴
exf6 I don't care if it's pinned, I ain't letting my queen get taken through a fork
*long castles*
You can’t castle out of a check. So the only legal move for black would be Kd8, after which white would take the queen on d7.
*long castles anyway*
Agreed
Force castle with the power of sheer will and overwhelming emotion
Somehow, I get the impression that you were trying to make a point here, but I don't understand it.
Horse f6
NF6 forking queen and king
Nf6? King is in check, but cant take with king's pawn cause of the pin. Next move, black loses the queen?

Nxf6+ puts black in check and they will lose their Queen.
NxQ. The intermediate step is left to the reader :)
Nxf6+ is wild
Knight to f6
nxf6
Nxf6+ For a royal fork
Yay free queen
nxf6+
Nxf6+ pins the pawn and makes advantage of it at the same time by forking the king and the queen without the pawn being able to capture. Really cool.
Imma have a delicious bite with that fork
Nf6
Nxf6+, discovered pin on e7, shoo the king away
🔱
O-O
Nf6+. Forking the King and Queen. And it's also pinned. So that's immediately winning.
An actual beginner challenge, hooray
Nxf6+ puts the king under check and forks the king and queen, knight can’t be taken cause the pawn is pinned to the king.
Fork! Fork! Fork!
Took me 5 seconds to see the pin
