In this endgame, (as we refer to positions which have only very few pieces left on the chessboard) each
side has only a King and a Rook. In most cases, that is a draw unless either side makes a big mistake.
In this case, there is something unusual. White hasn’t yet lost his right to castle yet!
Therefore, by castling to the Queenside (0-0-0), White can make a check and attack the Rook at the same
time. In other words, this makes a very rare type of fork.
