Wow, it's dead here if I don't post. So let's correct that unfortunate situation.

I didn't play for a while. It comes in waves. I played so much that I got totally fed up with it, and then sometimes I don't play for months, until it starts to itch again.

Back to the subject; horse forks. A friendly neighborhood horse fork ended this game: https://lichess.org/EWMcf7K53X1h

Thank God for being on the giving end of horse forks!

I played 5 games over the board games on shabbat. The opponent also plays regularly on Lichess, has chess books, used to play in tournaments, and was far from a raw beginner. He arrived with a very neat fold up wooden (looking, finish) magnetic chess board, on which the battles took place.

The beginning went great, I won the first two games, but then he won the next two games, so it was 2-2. The fifth game would be the decider.
First, true to my style, I blundered away a piece, but the opponent messed up the opportunity I gave him, and I was able to save my piece.
Then I let him skewer my queen and king, which costed me my queen, but I got a horse, bishop, and a castle in return for it, so materially I was just fine, and I managed to win that game.
All is well that ends well.

Here another action photo of me. You can see me playing a game with my neighbor:
