aenorman43 vs spfish - Game 8 - Quarter Finals - 2024 Hive Online World Championship

Throughout the game black had a flexible position with the pocket, which also gives mobility to the queen when occupied. A move that would give problems to black would be 17 wM \bQ. If 18 bL -wL, blacks pocket is destroyed, blacks queen is stuck, and white can aim to free up his beetle/mosquito to keep attacking. If black resists 17 by playing 18 bA /bP (looking to beetle recover) white can force the queen to move with 19 wA bQ/, and no matter where she goes white has good prospects
