KINGS, KNIGHTS and PAWNS
After pressing MODE and seeing TEACH displayed on the LCD, if you
press the KNIGHT key the computer will be ready to start play from the
above position, with the kings, knights and pawns on the board.
Even in a symmetrical position such as this, it is very easy for an unsuspecting
player to overlook a simple threat.
1 Nbl-c3 Ng8-f6
This move appears to be a serious mistake because it does not take into account
white’s threat. Safe moves for Black include 1 ... Nb8-c6’or 1 ... a7-a6.
2 N c 3 - b 5 N b 8 - a 6
Defending the c7 pawn.
3 N b 5 x a 7
So White has won a pawn. Does this mean that the game will be a relatively
easy win for white? Not at all.
3 ..... c7-c6!
