Re: [Forchess Online] To mate, or not to mate?

Good question, good question. I'm inclined to say "not",
and instead pull the bishop back to hit Tox's new queen. In
combination with my own new queen, that should give us a
bit of breathing room. However, you should take this with a
grain of salt, since I find that I'm still stuck in the
mental frame of looking at check situations as in
two-player chess -- first the checker moves, then the
checkee, and so on.

Actually, now that I think of it, I'm wondering whether my
new queen (or the threat thereof) might be enough to keep
Tox from promoting by itself. If so, then maybe you're
better off with the checkmate.

I suppose it really comes down to whether you think that
we'll be able to get you another unforced move before the
queen-castle-knight team down in your corner mates you.

Sorry to be so vague.

Dan, I don't think Tox will get a queen, because that would block Jack's rook from covering your own soon-to-be queen. Also, in the event that I capture Tox,...
