Chapter 10: Checkmate Techniques 杀 02a

 Due to constraints of this book, the authors have decided to classify the different tactical combinations into the following list:

• a) Tactical Combinations involving the Central Cannon,
• b) Tactical Combinations involving the Double Cannons,
• c) Tactical Combinations involving the Bottom Ranked Cannons,
• d) Tactical Combinations involving the Horse at the Flank , and
• e) Tactical Combinations involving the Elbow Horse.

There will be many examples which will be discussed in detail.
Note: The examples have also been made into short videos with corresponding tags to offer a clearer explanation. The URL would be: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSgklQ5ZjutrQ24JjNmVwnkp82VKWHgHQ

b) Tactical Combinations involving the Double Cannons

Due to the fact that when the Double Cannons deliver a check, no material can be put in betwwen the line of fire. Therefore, this basic kill would easily result in many exciting checkmates.

Note: There were seven boards in this section which has been divided into two pages to decrease download time. This would be the first page.
