Hello everyone, this is the quiz from Chessmaster.
How to move a black piece to create a fork?
I hope to learn from you, thanks!

I don't see a fork really, but Bc2 comes to mind as a decent move! (?)

Just a light stab, haven't looked at too in depth yet.

Qd3 comes to mind, or Qb2+ comes to mind

Qd3, attacking the Rook, the Bishop and the Knight.

Ah!! Jeez, I missed it was black to move. Yea, several ways to win here. My bad lol.

1...Qd3?? is indeed a fork, but will backfire nastily after 2.Nxf6+! (2...gxf6 3.Bc2!).
So I guess 1...Qb8+ and 2....Qxb3 is the correct answer.

Ya you're pretty much screwed at that point.

If you try to move your king to saftey such as 2.Nxf6+ Kh8 then he mates you with 3.Re8

If you try Kh8 he can 3.Ng8+ forces you back on the diagonal with your queen then he slides the bishop behind your queen with 4.Bc2
