Some ideas from this game....1 Round = (odd number + 1)/2 or (even number)/2 This is a really good game to understand the complexity of open-ended opening used by both outstanding players and importance of opening concepts. [04R] Since Red is a horizontal 6-Rook and no longer protecting Red's right, could moving the Horse to line 4 a better choice? This will form a barrier to Black 8-rook, protect the 3-Soldier and 2-Artillery and most allow the Red Rook to create some havoc while ignoring Red's own right sector. The linked Red Artillery also provide a strong defence when needed to both sides. [06R] Advancing the 7-Soldier to inconvenient the Black 3-horse might be another option making use of the overcrowding at Black right. If Red Rook can eat the 3-infantry, this 7-Soldier can also advances to add pressure to Black right. [07R] Look like a opening error which allow black rook control the pawn line and extend control to both Red sectors. This results in success for the cross-palace artillery. Maybe ca (more...)
