The Knight's Fork Squares
Part of the Core Motifs section of Coddy's Tactics & Checkmates journey. Lesson 1 of 35.
A knight attacks only squares of the other colour, so two pieces it forks always share a colour. That is the scan: find two enemy pieces on one colour, list the squares that attack each, and the fork square is on both lists - one jump away, or two.
