So who’s worked out the move without looking. I certainly didn’t. It’s a rip snorter.
I wonder, do I give myself net credit for thinking of it, or net dunce’s hats for writing it off almost as quickly? Surely the latter, unfortunately :(
I wonder, is this just the kind of move that we are amazed by but that a computer would always see?
And if you think about the move, most variants end up in the immortal game format – which is to say with the winner’s remaining pieces all in the mate of the enemy king.
That’s the classic game they have in my family’s edition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, though less for this move than what comes before it (ie, the demonstration of the classical principles of development and centralisation.)
