    That must have been what it was like to fight Imperial Rome.

    Heh! And another soldier fills the gap. Here is the closest game I could remember of my own - just keep taking toward the centre.

    Game 3920989

    I liked how the threat of a rook fork lead to a bishop fork instead, from this position here

    This is not really a fork is it; more like a form of skewer where both men are undefended (and in this case they are the same value), and no move can defend both of them. Any suggestions for a more distinctive name ?

    Yes - I like that better anyway - The threat of a fork, leads to a skewer
