What are slotted horses and wildebeests?
Groove Horse: is a chess term that refers to a horse that moves one square before the bottom of the square. It can be both a general and a car, which is a common murderous trick. This is shown in the figure below.
Groove horses
As shown in the diagram above, red and black have the same value of pawns, and if Black goes to 1 and 3 first, Red has no solution. Now that it's Red's turn, let's take a look at how Red uses the first move to win.
1. Ma 6 into 7 will be 5 into 1
2, car three into two, car 6 back 4
3, Ma 7 retreats 6 will be 5 flat 4
4. After the rook loses the rook, the game is basically lost. Red's knight 6 into 7 and Black's knight 1 into 3 are called groove knights, which is a very powerful move.
Hanging wildebeest: One side uses a horse in any of the two upper corners of the opponent's nine palaces to form a situation called a general (handsome) who has not yet moved the position. As shown below:
Hanging wildebeest
As shown in the diagram, the value of Red pawns is better than Black's, and Red pawns can eat black cannons with six into one, and red pawns can eat black pawns with five into six. If Red takes the lead, the knight retreats to three, the rook is five to six, the rook is three to four, and Black has no solution to lose; Or if the pawn enters six and eats the cannon, the red side also wins. It just so happens that now it's Black's turn to move.
1、… Horse 2 into 3
2, handsome five flat six pawn 4 into 1
3, Shuai Liuping, 5 pawns, 4 into 1
Black uses the power of the cannon to attack Red with a pawn crossing the river, at which point Red has no solution.
Judging by the position of the horse; A grooved horse is more powerful than a wildebeest.
