The character of “自”- Since - Game #5
Game #5
In Game #5, Red would demonstrate several middle game tactics and skills in basic kills in order to win the game.
Friday, July 1, 2016
The character of “自”- Since - Game #4
The character of “自”- Since
Game #4
Game #4
In Game #4, we will learn how to maneuver the pieces to gain advantageous positions.
1. C8=5 C2=5
2. H8+7 H2+3
3. R9+1 R1=2
4. R9=4 A6+5
5. R4+7 H8+9
6. P3+1 R2+6
7. H2+3 R2=3
8. H3+4 P3+1
The first eight moves were the same as in the previous examples. Diagram 1.4a. Please refer to Game #1 for detailed explanations.
Diagram 1.4a
9. H4+3 C8=7
In this game, Black improvised and for his ninth ply, Black chose to play C8=6, which was a bad move. In Game #4, Black make corrections and played C8=7 which was still insufficient as could be seen by Black's dismal outcome. C8=7 would still be a good move in this situation but more could have been done. Diagram 1.4b.
We can see by going through the game how the ancient Chinese players improvised and learnt from their mistakes, making corrections and perfecting their play. It is very important to learn from your mistakes.
Diagram 1.4b
10. H3+5 …………
Red would still use the same strategy as in Game #3, trading the Black central cannon with the Red horse. However, the situation was different as at Game #3. In Game #3, Black cannon was at palcorner (Black’s sixth file), so the strategy was valid. Unfortunately, in Game #4, Black cannon was at file number seven. Red C2+5 would not be an ideal move.
10. ……. E3+5
11. C2+5 C7+7
Red had attempted C2+5 as in Game #3. However, Black’s C7+7 actually provided a chance for Red to attack. Diagram 1.4c. A better move for Black would be to play R3+1. If Red answered with C2=5, Black would defend with A5-6 and Red would not be able to continue his attack.
Diagram 1.4c
12. R1=3 R3+1
13. C2=7 R3=2
14. C5+4 R2-7
This is to prevent Red's C7+2 checkmate. Diagram 1.4d
Diagram 1.4d
15. P3+1 R9=8
16. A4+5 R8+3
17. P3=2 …………
Red's P3=2 to maneuver the pawn to attack was timely and brilliant. Diagram 1.4e. This would allow Red's chariot to team up with the other chariot for an attack. This tactic is often used during the middle game.
Diagram 1.4e
17. ………… R8=5
Black would have lived slightly longer with R8-3. However, it would just be a matter of time before Red won.
18. R3+9 A5-6
19. R3=4
Double Chariots Checkmate. Red wins. Diagram 1.4f.

The character of “自”- Since - Game #3
Game #3
In Game #3, Red would demonstrate a third attacking strategy: attacking from the center. Red's chariot would block the Black elephant’s eye in order for the Red horse to trade with the Black cannon. Later, Red would advance his cannon to initiate a series of attack.

The character of “自”- Since - Game #2
Game #2
In this game, Red would demonstrate how to sacrifice two chariots to set up a Throat Cutting Checkmate in conjunction with the Heaven and Earth Cannons.
1. C8=5 C2=5 2. H8+7 H2+3
3. R9+1 R1=2 4. R9=4 A6+5
5. R4+7 H8+9 6. P3+1 R2+6
7. H2+3 R2=3 8. H3+4 P3+1
The first eight moves are the same as in the previous examples.Game #1 Diagram 1.2a. Please refer to Game #1 for detailed explanations.
 |
| Diagram 1.2a |
9. P1+1 …………
In Game #2, Red used a different strategy to attack. However, by modern day standards, Red's P1+1 would not be ideal.
Black could immediately counter with C8+3 to attack Red's horse which would be in an awkward position.
9. ………… P3+1 10. P1+1 …………
Red's P9+1 is a must-make move in this position.
10. ………… P9+1 11. R1+5 …………
Red’s R1+5 is a brilliant move under the circumstances, resulting in containment of Black’s chariot and horse. This would be a blockade to seal off Black’s left flank.
11. ………… P3=4
By moving P3=4, Black showed that he did not understand the gravity of the situation. A better choice for Black would be C8=6.
12. R4=2 …………
Diagram 1.2b. Red's R4=2 is a move that does many things. The Red chariot is threatening to capture the Black cannon, while at the same time, blocking the elephant’s eye. This is to prepare for the final attack.
 |
| Diagram 1.2b |
12. ………… C8=7
Black’s C8=7 would be a mistake. Black would have been better off with C8=6.
13. H4+5 …………
Red started his attack from the center.
13. ………… H3+5
Black's H3+5 would be another mistake.
14. C5+4 R3+1
Black only way to save the king would be C7-1.
15. R1+2 …………
Diagram 1.2c. Red sacrificed the chariot for the Black horse.
 |
| Diagram 1.2c |
15. ………… R9+2 16. R2=5 …………
Red sacrificed another chariot to set up the Throat Cutting Checkmate.
16. ………… A4+5 17. C2+7
Checkmate! A combination of the Heaven and Earth Cannons led to the final checkmate. Diagram 1..2d.
