Meredith. Two underpromotions. Creating batteries with “retreat” of rear piece to a corner. Battery play with square-block. Queen’s play from corner to corner. Model mates. Emphasized uniformity of play.
P. S. If we will go to a form of twins then apparently it will be able to replace the two unpleasant technical wPb4 and wPe3 either to the one white and one black pawns or to the two or three black technical pawns. But author thinks that the form of twins significantly reduces an impression of this problem. (Author)
