There's nothing on that square to threaten, so how is that a fork?
Forks the h-pawn and the bishop. You cannot protect your pawn with the bishop either because e8 is covered by the knight as well.
Should be easy to push to promote for white after eliminating that pawn.
The bishop is on the wrong color to be threatened by a knight on d5
Ok, I play Nd5 what do you do? If you don't move your bishop or king, I'm gonna fork both by taking on b6. If you defend the pawn with the king, I play Nf6 instead forking your bishop and outside pawn. Gonna win a pawn either way after already winning the bishop for rook exchange earlier.
I see, good point
