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.
This is one of those strange CT exercises where the solution plays one way (captures with queen as first white move). But if you go back to the beginning of the exercise and choose play current position and play the first move it doesnt make that move - it moves the f1 rook.
Can someone please help sort this out.

The final score of the best-of-10 match was 5.5 points to 2.5 points. Despite the lopsided score, the victory was not as easy as it appeared, Ms. Hou said in a telephone interview from Tirana, Albania, where the chess match was held. “Every game was interesting. Both of us had chances,” she said. The difference was that “in the middle games, I caught ...
