Not in chess, it doesn't

Solution:
1...Nxe4
and if White plays 2. Qxe4 then 2...d5 forks the white Queen and Bishop.
If instead Black plays 1...d5 right away, White can reply 2. Nxf6+ and then move the attacked Bishop to a safe square after Black deals with the check to his King.

Now a dead easy one.
White, to move, has a fork that wins a Rook.
|
|
|
Solution:
1. Bxc6+
Nothing much to add, really.
|
|

A little trickier, with White to move again.
Black appears secure, but there is a way for White to win material.
Which way is best?
