This is a simple example of bifurcation tactics in Secutor Chess. Black
has played Bg4 and threatened the white queen, while the bishop is
guarded by the black Secutor at b8. White has played f3, and now black
can play Bh3! check. The Secutor on h6 checks the white king because
the black bishop placed himself as a collision screen. It's this types of
tactics that always occurs with bifurcation pieces, and it's a different kind
of tactics than with other pieces.
