Naturlich wird es ein aehnliches Matt mit zwei Laeufern schon geben, aber ein bekannter Schlusswitz ist immer besser als gar keiner! Es ist paradox, dass der sBe6 vorangetrieben werden muss, sollte man doch vermuten, dass er auf e6 fuer Schwarz hinderlicher ist und den e7-Bauern blockiert.

Es ist nicht gerade uberraschend, dass man den wSc1 los werden will und dennoch halt 2.Le5? die Einleitung und das Finale zusammen. Mir gefallt das Mattfinale mit witziger Pattverfuehrung 15.Lc2+, wenn man zu gierig ist.} 1-0
