Assunto: Re: Pawn capture in Embassy Chess game

Modificado por Walter Montego (10. Março 2006, 23:00:35)

Pythagoras, ColonelCrockett: A couple of moves ago I almost captured the Pawn on B4 with my Knight. I was thinking I'd take two of its Pawns and start marching mine, but I thought SMIRF would get his Marshall and Rook over to the Royalside and I'd regret doing it. So I'm back moving Knights around. It's Pawn by my King is something I might be able to capture. There are a couple holes in the wall that I can get into. I'm not used to playing in this manner. I'm thinking my best bet might be to force a passed Pawn by giving up a Knight and get it promoted.

Reinhard has from time to time through the game told me SMIRF's evalution of the points it keeps track of for a position. It would seem that you and SMIRF agree about the value of a Rook compared to Bishop in a position like this. It only had itself a Pawn up back then. I'll ask him what the score is again.

Still no Pawn captures or captured Pawns either.
