Tactics corner: vicious triple play

In this game at Chess.com, the Pink Queen captured the wrong horse (with her king at f6; the h-pawn might have been better).  This allowed the Gabridoodle to move his other horse,  getting a discovered check, fork, and skewer combined.  The Pink Queen was shortly queenless.

Brutal, epic, vicious triple-forking for Fritz

The Gabridoodle can report Fritz 12's rated games are much more interesting than the "friend mode" games.  Fritz has been winning most of the rated games, but now and then the Gabridoodle zaps him.  In this example, the Gabridoodle moved his knight to the square marked with the X and gave Fritz a brutal triple-forking.  Fritz's queen fell and resignation followed several moves later.

Nasty, dirty forking with a bishop !

This one eventually ended in a draw, but here I gave Fritz's rooks a nasty forking with my bishop.
