For example, you line up your bishop so that it threatens your opponent's king and rook at the same time, forcing her or him to move his or her king, allowing you take her or his rook. Let me know if I'm not being clear, and I can probably post an illustration to the Web.

it is called A FORK.
Best forking is forking King and Queen with a Knight. ( because many times you over look all possible moves of a knight!!!)

"Fork" two of the pieces using one of your knights. This works especially well when you fork the queen and the king. Your opponent will have to move the king out of check, leaving the queen ffor the taking.
To do this, imagine the path of the knight as a "T". You want to put the two pieces at the top of the "T" making it so that they must sacrifice one of the pieces. The only piece that you should not try to "fork" is another knight
