Black has only one piece left. White couldn't prevent Black from getting pieces back into his reserve, so he played 1.i2-d6 and reduced Black's possibilities to just one move: 1…a2-g6;x. White sacrifices a piece, but he leaves Black no other choice than to push his last GIPF-piece into a blocked position on the a2-h6 line. More over, it is because Black must remove the white piece on h4 that makes that he can't use his piece on g4 to break an attack on the f1-f8 line. White's next move will be 2.h1-e4 and is sure -- coming from dot g1 -- to capture Black's GIPF with his last piece.
