Solution to Medium chess puzzle 0001

At this puzzle, next move is by black. The objective of the puzzle is to capture the Bishop. There are two white bishops available in the board at g5 and a4. You have to capture one of these

The bishop at a4 is away from any of your pieces. So the obvious choice is the bishop at g5. This can be captured by giving a check to white king at d2 by your knight at f6. This move is called knight fork since it attacks two pieces at the same time. See the Board position before knight fork

The board position after the knight fork shows the movement of knight from f6 to e4. Now the king is in check. Since there are no pieces to capture the knight at e4, the king needs to move.
