Important transposition!

Post by Richard Pask »

Looking through Alex M's excellent book last night, I spied the following transposition.

11-16 24-19; 8-11 28-24!; 11-15! (easily best in my opinion) 24-20; 15-24 20-11; 7-16 27-11

This is the same as 9-13 21-17; 5-9 25-21; 9-14 22-18; 13-22 18-9; 6-13 26-17; 13-22 CR

If this has been given before, I'm unaware of it.

Also, a very minor point. Alex mentions the 3-8 attack of the cross.

Clearly 11-15 23-18; 8-11 27-23; 3-8 is the same as 10-15 23-18; 7-10 27-23; 3-7

Obviously Alex, and no doubt everyone else, is well aware of this, but for a newcomer to the game I think it's worth mentioning explicitly.
