Horse go horse

Some of the older readers remember when they played chess with each other on park benches, played by correspondence, making one move per month, solved chess problems and sent them to magazines. But time is inexorable, and at first computers learned how to solve multi-paths by busting moves and classifying positions, then people preferred communication at the chessboard to communication via the Internet, and finally the deeply thoughtful computer defeated a smart person and he became a politician.

And yet the chess problems did not die to the end. The former politician sits and quietly releases the problem books, one better than the other, and the seven-year-old son of my friend pulls these puzzles. Which, by the way, makes itself felt - the boy is already the champion of Moscow. Well, not about chess, our tale. And the tale about my favorite game , which has never had the time or the strength to finish.

Each turn of the game throws up difficult tactical tasks, and if the reader of this blog is interested, we will solve it together. So, the picture shows how the Julius family, having finished the first move with the successful capture of Segesta, is going to start the second move. The Senate asks to capture Patavium, a warlord in Arretium is concerned about the runaway slaves in the south. Question: which unit should start walking, and how?

I leave to the habrasoobshchestvo a chance to solve a chess puzzle in one move - there is a huge hint in the text. Those who still want to try their hand at solving problems of computer games, do not read further.

So, the correct answer to the problem is that diplomats have to go. Before each attack on the enemy's cities or runaway slaves, you need to ask money from your allies for what we are fighting.



If several times to lift the siege from the enemy's city, and again besiege this city, then they will give more money, diplomats will become more experienced, and the second move will end with good financial results. For the money you can buy all the neutral cities that you can reach.
