What are your thoughts on the Royal Fork? For those who don't know what that is it's when a Knight checks the opposing King and forks him and their Queen.
Oh my Edna Ivette! Bumping old threads. 
I recently came across a tactic where there was a Family Fork involved, I believe, without going back and looking at my stats, is the answer was NxQ. ??? You'd think, right?

Actually the OP is wrong. A royal fork is not a knight that forks the King and Queen. It is any piece other than the Queen that forks the King and Queen that cannot prevent the loss of the Queen for lesser material.
In the below diagram, if it is White to move, he has a Royal Fork available with the Bishop. If it is Black to move, he has a royal fork available with the Rook!
Eric Rosen did a golden fork to the Botez sisters 😎
Game 8 or 9, I think

Even better is a Family Fork, when a Knight forks King, Queen and Rook.
But would you still not get a queen in a royal fork and a family fork

I checked and it was towards the end of the "So Beautiful" game.

royal forks are only good when you get to fork a rook or 2 alongsid them
