• Side to move: white.
• Difficulty: intermediate.
• Goal: Win the black Ruea with the only forcing Ma fork.
• Key idea: The fork works because check removes Black’s choice. A forcing Ma jump is stronger than a loose attack on the rook.
• Takeaway: A forcing Ma fork is strongest when the check also leaves the second target hanging immediately.
