1. f25 again. Aren't there any other openings in Bushka? There are. In fact,
you can open with any man. But 1.f25 is, in terms of pace, the fastest type of
opening move, and central on top of that. It is also the only opening with a
body of theory. Black's path, though very secure in the regular defense,
is very small. The current 1. ... eg8 sort of mirrors the only alternative,
the previous 1. ... c64.
1. e14 | ef7 | A new opening!
Both players are in uncharted territory. |
2. f45 | f0x6 |
3. jxg6 | bd5 | An almost rotational
symmetric position. See T-strike application 1
for implications. |
4. h67 | fg7x |
5. ih7x | c74 |
6. ed4x | bc4x | Black counters the threat h78
with a counterthreat. |
7. h78 | dxg8 |
8. g3x7 | c63 | The counterthreat ... |
9. fxd3 | d6x4 |
10. ih6? | e97? | Both players overlook a simple
combination that wins white a man. |
11. gf7x | de7x |
12. h67? | | But white overlooks it a second time. |
| c53 |
13. ed3x | de4 |
14. hxf4 | d5e3x |
15. i56 | f97 |
16. hg7x | ef7x |
17. gf6 | fg7 |
18. g4x6 | f87x |
19. gf6 | cd4 |
20. hf5 | de4 |
21. ge5 | e32 |
22. fe6! | | This 2x2 exchange allows white
to break through. Capturing f76x is worse for black in terms of pace. |
| e87x |
23. e5x | f76x |
24. e56
 |
f65
 | One strategic aspect of this position
is the fact that the black men on a5 and b6 form a small fortress against a white
king: attacking on the 6-line only triggers b65 after which a lone king has no
way to attack. Another aspect is the immediate confinement of a black king on e1. |
25. e67 | e21 | King. |
