  5. …………  H2+3

We discuss Black H2+3 variations.

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

In this post, we discuss Red R9+1 variation.

  6. R9+1  …………

In previous post, Red played C8=9, advantage went to Black.

Therefore Red changes his tactic by playing R9+1.

So, what is the best move for Black?



  6. …………  R9=4

Correct move!

Red R9+1 was planned to move to file 6 to attack Black's right horse.
Now Black has placed his chariot in File 4, an important strategic position!

  7. R9=4  …………

Red's chariot only able to move to File 4.

  7. …………  R4+5

Now is Black's turn to attack Red's weak horse.

Current board status analysis:
1) Black has launched the attack faster than Red
2) Red's left horse is a weak horse, a burden to Red.

Outcome: Advantage go to Black
