In the previous post, we had discussed Black played R9=3 and C2=3, the outcome all went to Red.

In this post, we discuss Black H2+3 variations.

Red has 4 main variations:
1) C8=9 - Advantage go to Black
2) R9+1 - Advantage go to Black
3) R2+5 - Advantage go to Black
4) C8+4 - Advantage go to Red

  6. C8=9  …………

In this post, we discuss Red C8=9

What is the best move for Black?



  6. …………  R1=2

Correct move!
Obviously, Red C8=9 is to prepare for R9=8 develop his left chariot.
Black must play R1=2 to develop his chariot faster than Red.
This tactic is often uses during opening.

  7. R9=8  C2+4

Current board status analysis:
1) Red's left chariot is hardly to develop
2) Black both chariots are in strategic position

Outcome: Advantage to Black
