Weise als Rammbock eingesetzt, um Zugstraßen für die weißen Figuren zu
öffnen.cxd5?!17...Kf7war immer noch angezeigt. Der weiße Angriff ist
nun aber schon sehr stark:18.dxc6bxc619.Red119.Qc4+!?Qd520.Qg4

ohnehin nicht mehr zu retten, z.B.19...Nc620.Nc5Qd621.Nxb7Qd722.Nc5Qd623.Qh5+g624.Qh4Ne525.f4Nc426.b4f527.Re6Qd828.Qh6Nd629.h4Ne430.h5Nxc531.hxg6+Kxe632.Rxc5+-20.Qg4g621.Ng5+Ke822.Rxe7+‼Der fliegende Turm startet sein Reise mit einem Raketenstart.22.Nxh7?Rxc123.Nxf6+Kf724.Rxc1Qe6verkauft den weißen Vorteil dagegen viel zu

Der fliegende Turm setzt seine Mission einfach fort.24...Kh824...Kf825.Nxh7+Kxg726.Qxd7++-25.Rxh7+und von Bardeleben verließ den
