Oct-01-22 Bobotsov vs F Bohatirchuk, 1954
| |
| Muttley101: <m.okun: As long as there is at least one pawn on the board, there is no theoretical draw with two knights. What Bobotsov brilliantly proved.> This is incorrect, because (as mentioned above) the win of 2N vs P depends on the P's location, as the player with the pawn always ... |

| |
| Muttley101: Cehertan, you asked Open Defence to show you a line where the h-pawn "doesn't march to glory", and he literally does that. You then claim he has "categorically" not given a line where the h-pawn marches to glory, ignoring that it is in his reply to you. First, you might take your |
