Play online chess |  Subject: CT ART Ex No 1172
Message:
F BISHOP AND E KNIGHT
For those who have the chess programme CT ART
Is the point of this exercise (1172, 20 points so should be easy!) to take the f4 bishop and E4 knight or can white avoid this?
The exercise stops when black seems to have gone down 2 points. So a beginner does not really see the outcome.

Can someone please help sort this out.

The final two rounds last weekend began with Baden-Baden and Solingen on 24 points from 13 matches, Werder Bremen 23 and Mulheim 20. Baden-Baden is the cash-rich team and even boasts the world chess champion, Vishy Anand, and world No1, Magnus Carlsen in its squad, though the Indian has played only two games and the Norwegian none. But the active regulars are so strong that Michael Adams, the England No1, plays only on a mid-board in the eight-man team. Werder Bremen, which has links with the football club, fields ...
