Hi.
Can

"White promotes to the numerically inferior Knight, calling check and forking Black's King and Queen."

Be restated as:
"White promotes to the numerically inferior Knight, which calls check and forking Black's King and Queen."?

Thanks in advance

Common sense and one's knowledge of the real life that language represents: you turn your **** into a knight and as soon as the piece is returned to the board, the king is in check.
