In the game White was Zugzwang, Black A.N.Other. Here I ask please for White & Black = Gandalf. Are you sure substantially the same line occurs if we force Qxg7 to be played? Also evaluations. Reason for this: OK, Gandalf rejects Qxg7 (good, Qxg7 is dumb) BUT if Gandalf is given the chance of playing for Black also (I assume it will win as Black) at what stage does Black realise 'aha I am winning'? The main point is in the other post. Kind regards fca
