More Forks

Last week, I posted about forks that I'm showing in my lessons and I left some puzzles. Here's the answers to the easy puzzles, though there were a couple designed to trick you!

The first 2 on the left hand side column are pretty easy, but the puzzles in the right column are a bit tricky. Did you notice that you could use checkmate as a target? And did you notice that it was Black to play in the last puzzle? It always pays to read the question carefully!

I'll leave the harder fork puzzles for another week to give you some more time to solve them! In the meantime, here's another puzzle with a fork, but this time it isn't done by a knight.
