He COULD have fallen into one or two traps due to the bad position of his king-with possible mating nets. Then I eventually pruned out the continuation with help of monitor x 3 and there were no lines at all which led to anything. i.e. anything which might possibly have led to anything I examined quite deeply until it was more than obvious that there was not. It's a very perfect method of analysis done in the right way and not leaving any stone unturned. S.Taylor
