Onderwerp: A recent Embassy Chess game

As this board has indeed been a bit dead I'll post a recent Embassy Chess game:
Embassy Chess (Walter Montego vs. Beren the 32nd)
My honourable opponent was playing better than me, probably even up to move 34, when I suddenly had a forced win despite having less material.
For someone new to 10x8 chess, the end of the game might be worth looking at. It's a good example of going in for the kill with all your pieces. Also note the 'pins' involved.
