OK a much easier chess puzzle for you.
In this puzzle you are again playing black. It is your move.What are you best 3 moves in this one ?
In the current board, the white King is on square h1 and the black King is on square g8.
you can use x = takes
Symbolize the King as K, the Queen as Q, the Rook as R, the Bishop as B, the knight as N,
and a pawn as p.

I only play with the hairs on a man's chest.
M - In the game of love ?
L - think lower.
I first thought I'd move the Black Bishop and position it between the W Queen and Knight using the pawn as cover.
Then I though about pushing the black pawn up and threatening the w Knight, leading to a swap fest.
If I went the B Bishop move all I can see is W Queen going on the defensive to cover the pawn shielding the W Castle.
I'd push the black pawn up one and try to come out on top during the swap.
But anyways ...
the bp right of his queen, to take one move forward.
Rows of the chessboard bottom to top are 1-8, columns from left to right are A-H; Bottom left is A1, top right is H8 from white's point of view
She thank you kindly fargo for explanation
when a person doesn't understand such things, how complicated even the simple things sound. lol
But going with moves of others, I can see, after all these I'm still on track
As Ff pointed out, the white knight is essentially pinned to prevent loss of the queen.
Thus, moving black's c pawn up one to c6 is the right move.
However, what's next ?
Suppose white's response is to move it's b pawn forward 2 spaces to b4, thus threatening black's bishop.
What should be black's next 2 moves in response ? Depending upon the situation, some players would argue, that a bishop is slightly more valuable than a knight. So, is an exchange the right way to go in this case ?
You got the first move right. How about black's next 2 moves ?
White is thus, truly.....forked.
If Rfe1, cxd5
