Regarding the nature of the Archbishop and the Chancellor

[edit]

In fact, if Carrera was a chess theorist, Capablanca probably based the game on a first draft of the Archbishop and the Chancellor. Carrera himself probably saw the imbalance of the added knight moves and knew about the setups where it was easy to exploit it by lining up the Archbishop or the Chancellor with an unprotected pawn. This is a more plausible explanation for the references to lack of play of the game during his lifetime than that he published it and somehow forgot it. 24.49.51.83 (talk) 15:12, 5 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
