Is is really a shame because in the same time a terrible house in f feeds itself as a hurricane does with the winds od the storm. ( DIAGRAM 1 ) 24.B South decides to evacuate the annoying seeds in B. e(3) First seeds for North. 25.Cb 26.Db 27.Ed 28.Ae 29.Bc 30.Db 31.Ac 32.Bd 33.Cf(9) The hurricane rages. This could cost a lot at Chess. 34.Fb 35.Ed 36.Aa 37.Bb South has limited the failure, playing better than North these four last moves. But it is maybe already too late because it is very hard to fight again 12 consecutive powers. 38.Dc 39.Cf 40.Fe 41.F(2)d 42.Af 43.Ae 44.Eb 45.Bc 46.Fb 47.Ee 48.Fd 49.Da 50.Eb 51.Cf(2) 52.Ae 53.Af 54.Cd 55.Ae 56.Bc 57.E(2)e 58.Dd 59.Cf(2) 60.Ce 61.F(2)c 62.Da 63.Ee 64.Aa 65.Cd 66.Be 67.Df(2) 68.Eb 69.Be 70.Ad 71.Cc 72.Dd 73.Be 74.Cf 75.Fb 76.Ea 77.Dc 78.Be 79.Ad 80.Eb 81.Ce 82.Bc 83.Dd 84.Ce 85.Ea 86.Db 87.F(2)b 88.Ea 89.Ff 90.Cc 91.Dd 92.Ee 93.F(2)f(2)

1. (1)0 (2)d5 A very good move but certainly not the only one. 2. (3)e4 (4)0 3. (5)Qh5 (6)0 4. (7)Nf3 The whites don't find really effective moves in the perspective of the terrible black series to come. It is necessary to put traps. (8)0 5. (9)0 (10)Be6??

Diagram 1 at the left : Before 24.B : South is not able to flow out the seeds in B correctly. The North seeds in f are very strong.
Diagram 2 In the center : The whites has nothing better than 6. (11)Qxh6. The blacks will execute an underpromotion.(Bishop)
Diagram 3 at the right : The black tornado starts by 9. (17)0 (18)Nf6.
