  1. C2=5  C8=5    2. H2+3  H8+7    3. R1=2  R9+1    4. P3+1  …………

Red  may play H8+7, will lead to same variation.


  4. …………  R9=4

This is correct move for Black.

  5. H8+7  …………

As mentioned before, the most effective move for Black is H2+3.

What happen if Black played other variation?

Starting this post, we will discuss Black's variation other than H2+3.

I have seen many players holding Black like to move his chariot in this situation
There are
1) R4+3
2) R4+5
3) R4+7

All will lead the advantage to Red.

  5. …………  R4+3

In this example, we discuss Black R4+4, to exchange his 7th pawn.

Therefore, what is the best choice for Red?




  6. R2+6  …………

Correct move!

In this variation, Black has
1) P7+1
2) H2+3
3) H2+1

In this post, we discuss Black P7+1.

  6. …………  P7+1    7. R2=3  P7+1    8. R3-2  C2=3    9. H3+4  R4=6
 10. C5=3  H2+1   11. C8-1

Current board status analysis:
1) Black is under attack
2) Red may play C8=4 in next move

Outcome: Advantage go to Red
