I lost a Knight to a foolish mistake but still prevailed
The keys to this game:
- I controlled the E column with two Rooks early
- I took out the Black Bishop that traversed the black diagonal, leaving Black's Bishop that traversed the white diagonal powerless. (Note how almost every White Pawn is on a white square!)
- I used my White Knight to control the left center (until I lost him on a foolish mistake)
- I opened the A column and advanced my Pawn to promotion. When Black blocked advancement at A8, I swept my White Rook to the 8 horizontal ... checking the Black King. Black sacrificed his Rook and I was able to promote Pawn to King
- Now with two Queens, I traded Queen for Queen.
- Then the entrapment!
