Rxh3 mate. In reality, this Bh4 move serves to connect the rooks immediately, so 2.Rb1 to kick the queen is possible and the queen has no cool squares like f2 to go to because the bishop is covering it. <br /><br />This shortcoming is more indicative of my OTB chess strength. If I went "postal-chess" against an engine from a non-openings position, I would probably do quite well, as other people with high postal and lower OTB skills have done in the past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
