Today we went over the fork worksheet.
We learned in passing that if you are left with a bishop, pawn and king against just a king, you can queen the pawn unless the pawn is on a rook file (a-file or h-file) and the bishop is not on the same color square as the queening square.
Then we learned about hurdles and skewers. "Two big pieces on a line? Look out! It's hurdle time!" If the front piece is the king, it's a hurdle. If it's not the king, it's a skewer.
Here's nice problem. White's turn. You should be concerned about his pawn. What's the winning move?
