19. Giugno 2003, 02:10:44 Argomento: my best Gothic so far #2 After a shakey start, this game, #114689, proved to have a very interesting ending. Of the final 4 moves, 2 were knight forks & one was actually an archbishop "fork", which also administered the coup de grace. 19.

The only way to win was to allow the Bishop to be captured, a very risky ordeal since it was parked in the h-file where not one but two passed pawns were heading down the pike! Once the Archbishop expended the energy to capture the Bishop, I could exhaust all of the checks. This was a very lengthy exercise in running an Archbishop out of gas -- The Battle of The Bulge brought to Gothic Chess. |
