Chess Tactic: "There is no fork"



Uploaded by: GreenCastleBlock
Video Description:
One of the most disappointing moments in a pawn's life is when it achieves a piece fork but one piece retreats and pins it allowing the other piece to escape.
This is a partial examination of my last round game from the Evanston G60 yesterday in which I tied for first ( http://www.evanstonchess.org ).
For extra fun, see if you can figure out:
1) How Black wins after 15...Ng4 16.hxg4
2) How Black wins after 15...g5 16.g3 g4 17.hxg4 h4 18.g5 hxg3 19.gxf6

Another good video Castle! Great analysis of the position. After BG3, in case anyone was wondering what would happen if black played H4(like I was) white simply plays BH2 and has a better position yet again. Well played and congrats on tying for 1st!
It's hard to say ... ( 4 months ago by GreenCastleBlock)
It's hard to say whether the pawn is better on h5 or h4 in these positions. If Black plays ...h4 he loses control of g4, but can possibly play ...Nh5-f4 since any g pawn move by White is met by ..hxg3 e.p. where White's h pawn is loose.

When black knight ... ( 4 months ago by ProBlood164)
When black knight takes F3, I was thinking if the Queen didn't take knight, white queen could take other bishop, but it would only be successful if the white pawn took the black knight, so it isn't garunteed.

I don't understand the way you got to that critical position... what's wrong with b4 followed by Ne4 instead of h5 ? and why h3 ??? h3 is horrible ! if he's afraid of a knight on g4 than f4 is better to prevent Ne5=g4 ... but ok I don't understand very much of Taimanov and chess in general. anyway very nice vids !!!
This was from a ... ( 4 months ago by GreenCastleBlock)
This was from a tournament game of mine, I was Black and the White player was substantially lower rated.
"b4 followed by Ne4" is not possible instead of 8...h5 since Black's pawn is on b7.
After 8...h5 (A rare move. 8...Bb4 9.Na4 is mainline), 9.f4 is in fact the main move, then Black responds ...b5 and White has a choice to make. This was supposed to be a simple tactical video not a discussion of Taimanov theory or I would have pointed these things out.
Thanks for watching!
oouuups.. sorry you ... ( 4 months ago by EikeKehrel)
oouuups.. sorry you are right. in my mind I missed b5 and a3 (so I resign :) ). I don't know anything about Taimanov theory but it's very nice to make general considerationes in this game. you see what happens if white plays without a concrete plan: he placed his figures in a way to prevent the tipical d5 breakthroug and tried not to weaken his pawnstructure (let's forget h3) ... unfortunately he ends up without an active plan so I think f4 is allmost "forced"
Thanks

Also, if you played N to f3, the knight you want to fork could capture it, thus avoiding the fork and allowing the bishop to take the coming pawn and attack the queen.

No, on 1...Nxf3+ 2.Nxf3 Black could play 2...Qxf4 (bishop is hanging). 2.Qxf3 is forced.
