White’s
offers Black a capture on the d1-d8 line. He’s now controlling Black’s
options to recycle pieces and he also has a grip on Black’s last GIPF. Black
must watch out for the piece on h4,
and even more for Ge5. It makes that
Black can’t play 1. … a1-f5;x,
because White would answer with 2. i4-e4!
1. … c1
is no solution; White plays 2. c1-c4.
An attack on White’s GIPF with 1. …
i3-f3 won’t do either, because White simply blocks the a5-i1 diagonal from
the other side, which brings Black back to 2.
… a1-f5;x. So, the only
option left is playing 1. … i1-c5,
which is another way op putting pressure on White’s GIPF, but White now plays 2. i1-f5 himself, leaving Black no possibility to recycle pieces.
