If you are at all impressed by such ambiguously-phrased prophesies, then you must find the sage Nostradamus utterly compelling. :-) The author of that piece showed little appreciation of the history of warfare, IMO. Strategy, even that part of it dealing with "coincidences", was worked out by Assyrian generals at Sennacherib long before Erwin was even a glimmer or glistening in the loins of his forefathers. To keep this message on-charter, look at: http://www.talkchess.com/forums/1/message.html?475342 [d] r7/1pk5/2pN4/4P3/5P2/p7/2N3KP/8 w - - 0 45 where 45. h3 is apparently described as "suicide". While I confess it is a somewhat piquant move, do you agree it is "suicide"? A move is called "suicide" if there is at least one clearly better move that is either reasonably liable to improve the outcome (loss to draw or win, or draw to win) or very significantly delay a bad outcome. I don't see that h3 qualifies on either count. 45. f5 a2 is just as "busted".
