Win 6: a red horse walks into the middle (Black)

Atomic Xiangqi: twelve engine games

62 手

Black (10 million nodes) against Red (1 million). 16.Hg3 is the losing move (-10.7), 20.He4 and 21.Hxd6 make it worse, and Black lets one mate slip (22…Rh7) before finding the finish: 31…Rxe2+ takes the advisor beside the general on e1.

Hg3: the horse leaves the flank and Black’s attack has a target. -10.7.

Hxd6: the horse takes a horse; nothing else is in the blast, and the position is lost (-24.1).

Rh7: Black misses a forced mate here. Still winning by twelve pawns.

Rxg3: Red’s chariot takes the chariot, and the blast removes Red’s own cannon on h3.

Rxe2+: the chariot takes the advisor; the general on e1 goes in the blast.
