Red (10 million nodes) against Black (1 million). The longest win on file. Level for six moves, then Black’s cannon swap at 3…Cf6 hands Red a pawn, and by move 15 Red is winning. What follows is the hunt: twenty-two moves in this game are check in the wide sense, the black genera…

Cf6: the cannon pairing Red wanted. Red +1.8 already.

Rxb2: the chariot takes the chariot. The blast finds nothing else, a clean trade.

Cxf10: Black’s cannon takes Red’s. A shot takes one piece and nothing beside it, and this one opens the f-file for Red. +14.5.

Hxf7: the horse takes a horse, and the blast removes the other horse on f6 and the advisor on f8. Three pieces off for one capture.

Rxe9+: the chariot takes the advisor beside the general on e8, and the blast ends the game.
