White has one piece left. Black to play…
View answer
Correct answer:
- i4-g4
White had 3 possibilities to recycle pieces:
- on the h1-h6 line,
- on the c7-i3 line,
- and on the a5-i1 diagonal.
The first option was excluded any way (because of Black’s a5-h2;xGe7).
Through playing i4-g4, Black also eliminated the second option, leaving White no other choice than to play i3-d2;x. Black answers with e9-e5 and is sure to capture White’s last GIPF with f1-d2;xGe6.
