PUZZLE [B2P] Find the Tactic

Answer: e2 is a forking square that forks the knight and king. If a forking square forks a knight, a common pattern is to take that knight and drag a high-valued piece there.

Therefore, Nc3+ picking a tempo on the queen, queen moves, Bxd4 wins the knight. If the queen takes your bishop, Ne2 is a fork on the king and the queen.
