Game No.5
1. C8=5 C2=5
2. N8+7 N2+3
3. R9+1 R1=2
4. R9=4 G6+5
5. R4+7 N8+9
6. P3+1 R2+4
7. N2+3 C8=6
Notes & Interpretations
Black plays the River Bank Rook variation, which is a safer line as compared to the previous four games of Cross River Rook variation.
8. N3+2 P7+1
9. P3+1 R2=7
10. B3+1 P3+1
11. G4+5 R7+2
12. N2+4 R7=8
13. N4+6
Notes & Interpretations
An intrepid Knight attacking in solo, aiming to go for 14. N6+7, with a "Horse in the stable" checkmate. Here it transpired that in the opening phase of the game, Black's 4. ... G6+5 is inferior to 4. ... G4+5, as this allows Black's King to avoid the direct threat from Red's Rook.
13. ... C5=4
14. C5+4 B3+5
15. C2=5 N9+7
16. fC=4 N7-6
If 16. ... N7+6, then 17. C5+5 G5-6, 18. C5-3, Red wins.
17. C5+5 K5=6
18. C5=7 Red wins
Comments
In the above five games (posted on various occasions), after the 4th move, when Black centralized the left hand Guard, Red's Vertical Rook (横车) moved forward and took up the strategical position of the 'Elephant Eye', since then, Black's Rook and Knight in the left flank had lost their usual dynamism, at the same time, the central defence was weak. Playing 6. ... R2+4, with the Rook patrolling the River is the correct move, which allows Black to attempt for equalization.
Views & Impressions
We are allowed to witness another interesting attacking plan by Red, who boldly sacrifices the forward Rook ! In the final analysis, Black's King has become a virtual prisoner, immobilized on his throne. During the middle (game) manouevre, the advance of the Knight is especially delightful to follow.
