Chess Tactic: Double Knight Fork

This is a discussion of a position from no particular game (meaning I just made it up). In order to see Black's winning tactic you need to spot a variety of different forks. Try to visualize it out to the end before advancing in the video.

when you told us to pause it, why didnt the knight go Nc6 to b4, then family fork on c2?

[GreenCastleBlock]

Because the other guy gets to move after you move, and Nb4 only threatens to take on c2.  White can play Bb3 defending.

[moponyo]

you are good,but..you have to point out opportunities for white

[GreenCastleBlock]

What do you mean by this? I pointed out White should trade first on e5 and then play g5. Even in the lost position I pointed out alternatives for White. Your criticism is very vague, considering this is a Black to play and win puzzle.

One difference between having a friend and just subscribing to someone's videos is that when you are someone's friend you can easily look at their favorites, in case you want to monitor what your students have in their favorites with ease.

I can't picture myself needing to do this but thanks for the info.

Nb1, Nd2, Nf3. Only 3 moves to challenge the black knight.
