Game 1: Premature Penetration
1. C2=5 C8=5 2. H2+3 H8+7
3. R1+1 R9=8 4. R1=6 R8+4
5. H8+7 H2+3 6. R6+7
The above is the opening of “Same Direction Cannon and Ranked
Chariot vs. Filed Chariot” . Now, the Red Chariot is
penetrating hastily into the Black’s second rank. It is a deceptive
offensive move. Despite the fact that it involves some tactics, as an
isolated piece, Red Chariot is apt to meet a counterattack from Black. The
normal Red continuation is P3+1, or C8+2, or R6+5.
In the situation as shown in the diagram, Black can have the
following three variations in responding to the attack of Red: (1) P3+1; (2)
C5=6; (3) C2+2. They may be developed into the following possible
(1) P3+1
6. … P3+1 7. R6=7! H3+4?
Black’s conception is pure and simple, that is to “move the piece
forward”. He has not anticipated the danger that is looming ahead. Now
the better play for him is H7-5. However, Red can play R9+1, which will
also throw Black into a passive position.
8. C8+3! P3+1
When Red drives his Cannon to the riverbank, Black is too late to
repent, as his Chariot and Horse are under containment of the Red
Cannon, like "a horse is drawn by a monkey". For gaining some
compensation, Black has to make a sacrifice by advancing the Pawn. If
Black played A4+5, Red would play P7+1 (If Red played R7-3, Black
would play E3+1), then C2=3, R7-1! Red has gained the material
advantage.
9. C8=6 P7+1 10. P3+1!
This move is simple but powerful, ensuring that Red is in an
advantageous position.
10. … R8=4 11. R9=8 C2=4
12. P7+1
After eliminating the only weak point on the board, Red will
advance forward with brisk steps.
(2) C5=6
6. … C5=6
A passive defense. It can only weaken the strength of his formation.
7. P5+1!
Following the principle of “when the enemy retreats, we advance”,
Red takes the opportunity to push forward.
7. … A6+5
Due to the weakness on the central file, Black has to strengthen his
defense. If Black played C6+5, he would meet the Red tactical strike of
P5+1! R8=5 (If Black played A6+5, Red would play R6=7 and would be
in a superior position), H7+5, R5+2, C8=4, Black is now in danger as his
formation is unstable and crisis-ridden.
8. H7+5
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
By now, Red has further expanded his initiative and has a bright
future.
(3) C2+2
6. … C2+2!
A flexible manoeuvre, with which Black can play offence as well as
defense.
7. P7+1 C2=8 8. H7+8
In order to maintain “the initiative”, Red plays toughly by driving
his Horse to block the Red Chariot. If Red changed to play H7+6, Black
would be in a satisfactory position: R1=2, C8=7, P3+1 (a good move for
deploying his forces)! P7+1, C7+3, C7=3, R8=3.
8. … R8+1!
A powerful and good move, as it can force Red to move the
Elephant to the edge. If so, the formation of Red is weakened. If Black
played C7+3 for exchanging the Horse, it is a mediocre move, as Red
would be superior in the disposition of forces after the following moves:
C8=3, R8=2, H8-7.
9. E7+9 R8+1!
Now, Black is ready to launch a counterattack. If Black played P3+1,
he could also gain a good position. However, this move is not so fierce
and tough as the former one.
10. P3+1 C7+3 11. C8=3 R8=7
12. C3=4 R7+3
As "the backyard of Red is on fire", Red hasn’t gained any profit.
His deceptive play is now declared bankruptcy.
Summery: With a hue of premature, the penetration of Red Chariot
on the 6th move is a play of deception. In variation (1), Black has
committed a primary mistake, thus offering Red a winning position. In
variation (2), Black's play looks weak and has fallen into the trap of Red.
In variation (3), Black plays positively in meeting Red’s attack and is
ready for making a counteroffensive, thus achieving satisfactory results.
Especially, the two moves of the Chariot are ingeniously designed, which
merits us to ponder over.
This game tell us that Red is too hasty in launching an offense,
therefore, his tactics is premature. Red would suffer a disastrous defeat if
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
Black makes a correct counterattack.
Game 2: Being Anxiousness for Gaining
Immediate Interest
1. C2=5 C8=5 2. H2+3 H8+7
2. R1+1 R9=8 4. R1=6 R8+4
5. H8+7 H2+3 6. R6+5
To drive the Chariot into the forest of Black’s Pawns is a kind of the
methods of Red for making an attack. Red can also have the play of P3+1,
or C8+2 or R9+1, etc..
6. … C2+2
A correct move. Had Black changed to play E3+1, Red would play
C8+2, then P3+1, C8=5, H3+4, C5+3, E7+5, R9=8, C2=3, R8+7, Red
would stand better in his offensive play.
7. P7+1 P3+1
The normal variation is C2=7, H7+8, P3+1! Black can have enough
strength to contend with Red. Now, Black is forcing to make the
exchange. It is the play of deception with certain purpose.
8. R6=7 R1+2 9. R7-1
To withdraw the Chariot for taking the Pawn is the move that fits in
with the actual situation. If he changed to play P7+1, Black would have
the chance for making a counterattack by playing C2-3.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
9. … P7+1 10. H7+6 C2+2 (as shown in the diagram)
In the situation as shown in the diagram, Black purposely shows the
flaw by playing Cannon, with an aim of luring Red into the trap. Now,
Red can have the following two variations: (1) H6+7; (2) H6+4, which
may be developed into the following possible lines:
(1) H6+7
11. H6+7
It seems to be a good move. However, it is too hasty to be played.
11. … R1-1!
12. H7+5
Red has fallen into the trap. The correct move is R7=6. If so, Red
has no major losses.
12. … C2=3!
An excellent move. Red Chariot can not escape from his doom.
Black has gained the initiative.
(2) H6+4
11. H6+4
It is a steady and safe play. The powerful move is P3+1. The
subsequent moves will be Black P7+1, R7=2, H7+8, P7+1, Both sides are
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
locked in a position for gaining the initiative.
11. … C2=3
If Black changed to play H7+6, Red would play R7=4, then C2=7,
E3+1. Red Pawn on the 7th file is so aggressive. After crossing the river,
it will constitute a fetal menace to Black.
12. H4+3 C3-2 13. H3-2 C2=8
14. C8=7
By now, the situation is quite clear that Red is in a superior position.
Summery: On the 7th move, Black is forced to make an exchange
of the Pawn, with the aim of luring Red into his trap. However, it can not
be considered as a good move. At the situation as shown in the diagram,
in variation (1), due to the fact that Red is overanxious for gaining an
immediate interest, Black’s deception is paid. In variation (2), as Red has
seen through the plot, he secured his superior position by exchanging the
Horse with Black.
Though there are not many variations in this game, and responding
lines are not so complicated, it fully proves that the anxiousness for
gaining an immediate interest must be avoided in our play.
Game 3: Prelude to the Counterattack
1. C2=5 C8=5 2. H2+3 H8+7
2. R1=2 R9+1 4. P3+1 R9=4
5. H8+7 H2+1
By placing the Horse on the edge, Black can have more flexibility
than the 3rd file. In such a position, Black can play C2=3 for threatening
the Red Horse. The weak point of this play is that Black’s central file
proves weak.
6. R2+6
Red hastily drives the Chariot to attack Black Horse. The better play
for Red is A6+5 for strengthening the defense or H3+4 for threatening
Black's Pawn on the central file.
6. … C2=3 7. R9=8 R1=2
A correct move. It looks hasty to play P3+1, because Red could play
R2-1, P3+1 (If Black played R4+2, Red would play C8+5), R2=7, C3+1,
C8+5! Black will find it difficult to cope with the situation.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
8. C8+4
It is imperative for Red to advance Cannon for blocking Black
Chariot. Had Red played R2=3, Black would play R2+6, then C8=9,
R2=3, R8+2, P3+1, C5=4, R4=6! A6+5, H1+3. After that, Black could
play H3+5. Black would be is in a superior position.
8. … R4+6! 9. R8+2 P3+1
10. R2-1 (as shown diagram )
The safe and stable play for Red is E7+9, for strengthening his
defense. Both sides are still entangled together. Now, Red retreats his
Chariot, hoping that Black would play P3+1, which can be considered as
a sinister deceptive move.
In the situation as shown in diagram 1, Black may have the
following two variations: (1) P3+1; (2) P7+1, which may be developed
into the following possible lines:
(1) P3+1
10. … P3+1
Black sticks to the old way in making the attack. Had he played
R4-4? Red would play R2=7, then R4=2, R8+4, R2+3, R7+2, R2=3,
R7-1, H1+3, P7+1, Red would come out better as he had got a material
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
advantage.
11. R2=7 P3+1 12. R7-2
A move of accuracy. Had he erred in playing R7+2, Black would
play P3+1, then C5=7, H7-5! Red would lose the advantage. If Red
played R7-3, Black would play R4=7, then C7+7, R2=3! Black could
have gained the pieces after the encounter of the Four Chariots.
12. … C3+5
Black is making one blunder after another. He has fallen into the
ambush of Red. He is better to play C3=4. If so, he still had enough
strength in his game.
13. C5=7! R4=7 14. E7+5 R7-1
15. C7+7 K5+1
Black has no other choice but to make this move. Had he played
A4+5, Red would play C8=3. Red would win quickly.
16. C8+2 C5+4 17. A6+5
Black is utterly routed. Red has secured a winning position.
(2) P7+1
10. … P7+1!
A farsighted good move. It can be considered as the prelude to the
counterattack. As Black stays clear of the menace of Red discovered play
C8=3, Red has no chance of gaining any profit.
11. R2=3 P3+1 (As shown in diagram )
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
In the situation as shown in diagram 2, after sacrificing his Pawn on
the file 7, Black charges forward with another Pawn. It is an ideal move!
The situation of Black is quite different with that in diagram 1. To
respond, Red can have the following two variations: A6+5 and R3=7:
(2.1) A6+5
12. A6+5 R4+4
The move is simple and clear-cut that Black retreats Chariot to take
Red Cannon. Another powerful line for Black is R4-2, by which Black’s
superiority is secured.
13. R3=7 P3+1! 14. H7-6 R4=2
A desirable move. If Black tried to preserve his strength and make
the situation complicated by playing C3=4, Red would play C8+2, then
P3+4, P3+1, P4=5, C5=7, Red could have the chance in the tangled
fighting.
15. R8+4 R2+3 16. R7+2 R2=3!
17. R7-1 H1+3 18. P3+1 H3+4
19. P3+1 H7-5
By now, Both sides have one promoted Pawn. However, Black is
obviously in a superior position as his pieces are more active than that of
Red.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
(2.2) R3=7
12. R3=7 P3+1 13. R7+2
If Red still take the old road as in variation (2.1), Red can not
succeed. For example: R7-2, C3+5, C5=7, R4=7, E7+5 (If Red played
C7+7, Black would play R2=3), R7-1, C7+7, A4+5! Black will be in a
superior position as he has the material advantage.
13. … P3+1 14. R8+1 R4-4
15. C8+2 R4-2 16.R7=9
Had Red changed to play C8-2, Black would play P3=4, then C5=4,
H7+6, Black obviously comes out better.
16. … R2=1 17. R8+5 R4=2
18. R9=6 R2+4 19. E3+1 H7+6!
20. C5+4 A6+5
Losing no time, Black resolutely launches an attack with his Horse.
By now, with an unstable formation, Red has landed himself in a passive
position as Black can have several offensive plays: H6+4, or H6+5, or
R2-2.
Summery: On the 10th move that Red retreats his Chariot to take
the Black Pawn is a play of deception but with a tactical motive. In
variation (1), due to Black’s ignorance of the trap set by Red, Red has
succeeded in securing a winning position by making a sacrifice. In
variation (2), as he has seen through the intention of Red, Black makes a
sacrifice of his Pawn on 7th file for relieving the menace of the
discovered attack of Red. After that, he launches a counterattack along
the 3rd file, thus reversing the position of winning and losing.
By following the correct orientation, Black launches the attack along
the 3rd file. Prior to this, the sacrifice of the Pawn on the 7th file is an
important interlude as it has wiped out the hidden danger. With such a key
move, it is quite enough for Black to shatter the deceptive play of Red.
Game 4: A Tit for Tat Fight
1. C2=5 C8=5 2. H2+3 H8+7
3. R1=2 H2+3 4.H8+9
By stationing his left Horse on the edge, Red can speedily dispatch
his pieces into action. Red can also play H8+7, or P7+1.
4. … R9+1
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
Black drives his left Chariot forward for strengthening his combat
effectiveness. He can also play P7+1, which is also a normal variation.
5. C8=7 R1=2
6. P7+1 (as shown in diagram)
?5
The 7th file Red Pawn has posed direct menace to Black Horse. It is
an offensive play but with deceptions. The most common move is R9=8
to drive the strong piece into action.
In the situation as shown in diagram 1, Black can have the following
three variations: (1) E3+1; (2) C2+5; (3) R9=4, which may be developed
into the following possible lines:
(1) E3+1
6. … E3+1
A pure passive defensive plays. It has weakened the strength of his
formation.
7. R2+6!
Red can gain advantage from both sides when his right Chariot is
pressing in. It can be considered as a good move for gaining the initiative.
7. … R9=4 8. R9=8
It is a move of precision and accuracy. If Red changed to play R2=3,
Black would play C5-1 and have a chance to extricate himself from his
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
cramped position.
8. … P7+1
If Black changed to play R4+3, Red would play R8+6. Or if Black
changed to play R4+6, Red would play R8+2. In both cases, Red could
maintain the initiative.
9. R2=3 C5-1 10. R8+6 C5=7
11. R3=4 H7+8 12. R8=7
Red has secured a superior position.
(2) C2+5
6. … C2+5
It is premature that Black drives his Cannon forward to make a
forced exchange, though it can be considered as a counterattack to some
extend.
7. R9=8!
It is a simple but powerful move. Had Red changed to play P7+1,
Black would play P3+1 (It is a strong move, while other moves will
throw Black in a poor position), then C7+5 (If Red played C5=8, Black
would play R2+7, then C7+5, H7-5 or R2=7. Red could stand better after
having captured the Black pawn on the central file), C2=7, C7=3, C5+4,
A4+5, R2+2. After making the sacrifice, Black will be in offensive
position, while the fate of Red is unclear.
7. … R9=2
If Black played C2=5, Red would be happy with it: R8+9, H3-2,
E3+5, P7+1, R2+4, Black lags behind in dispatching his pieces.
8. R2+6
Red drives his Chariot forward to attack the Black Horse. Black is
forced to make an exchange of pieces.
8. … C2=5 9. R8+8 R2+1
10. E3+5 P5+1
Pushing the central file Pawn forward is the best choice. Otherwise,
Black will fall into a passive position as his both Horses are under the
attack.
11. P7+1! H3+5 12. P7=6 P5+1
13. P5+1 C5+3 14. A4+5 E3+5
15. R2-2!
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
In face of Black’s counterattack, Red has obtained the initiative step
by step by making best use of the situation. With his Chariot on the
riverbank, Red can play offense as well as defense. He has already gained
a major superiority.
(3) R9=4
6. … R9=4
Despite the fact that Red Pawn will cross the river, Black drives his
Chariot to the armpit file. The move is implicit but powerful,
conforming to no conventional pattern.
7. P7+1 P5+1! ( as shown in diagram )
?6
To take a counterattack from the central file makes the people feel
fresh. It is a brilliant countermove that Black launches a tit for tat attack
against Red.
In the situation as shown in diagram 2, Red may have the following
two variations: (1) P7+1; (2) P7=6:
(3.1) P7+1
8. P7+1 H3+5 9. R9=8 P5+1!
A good move. By making a forced breakthrough, Black will have a
new prospect.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
10. C5+2
By playing Cannon for taking Black’s Pawn, Red can slow down the
pace of the opponent's offensive. Had Red played P5+1, Black would
play H5+4, then C7+7, R2=3, R8+7, H4+5, E3+5, H7+5, there is a
possibility for Black to launch a counterattack.
10. … R4+6 11. R8+2 A4+5
By playing the Advisor, Black can accumulate enough strength for
attacking. It is quite obvious that R4=7 is a bad move as Red can play
C7+7 to take the Chariot.
12. E3+5 H5+4 13. H9-8 R4+2!
It is an ingenious move that Black sacrifices his Chariot to take Red
Advisor. Black can also play C2+7, which will also lead to a winning
position.
14. K5+1
Red has no other alternatives. If he played K5=6, Black would play
C2+7, then R8-2, H4+3, K6=5, R2+9, Black has secured the winning
position as he has gained the material advantage.
14. … C2+7! 15. R8+7 H4+3
16. K5=4 R4-1 17. K4+1 H7+5
Now, Black is at the zenith of his offensive. Red is unable to ward
off the attack. For example, if Red played R8=7, Black would play A5-4,
then P7=6, H3+4! A4+5, R4-4, Black is sure to win.
(3.2) P7=6
8. P7=6 R4+3!
It is an ingenious move that Black makes a sacrifice of his Horse for
gaining the initiative. If Black changed to play H3+5, Red would play
P6=5, then H5+3, R9=8, the situation would become complicated and
unclear.
9. C7+5 H7+5 10. C7+1 C2+5
11. R9=8
It is a forced move for Red. Had he played C7=1 for making a
counterattack, Black would play C2=7, then C1+1, H5+3, R2+9, C5+3,
A4+5, E3+5, Red cannot get any advantage.
11. … R2+4
Another feasible line for Black is R4-3. Had Red played R2+6 (If
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
Red played C5=7, Black would play P5+1. It would lead to a strong
offensive), Black would play R4=3, then R2=3, H5+3, C5+3, A4+5,
R3=6, R2+6. After that, Black could play R2=4, or H3+4, etc. Black
would be in an optimistic situation.
12. C7-1
Red is playing tenaciously. Had he played H3-1, Black would play
R4-3 and be in a superior position.
12. … C2=7 13. R8+5 R4=2
14. H9+7
If Red played C1+1, Black would play H5+3, then C5+3, C5+4!
Red will lose quickly.
14. … R2=3
A correct move. Had he played R2-3, Red would play C1+1, then
C5=3 (If Black played H5+3, Red would play H7+6), C5+3, A4+5, R2+2.
Black can hardly gain any advantage.
15. H7+9
Red Horse has no other choice. Had Red changed his move to H7-6,
Black would play R3+4; Or if Red played C1=7, Black would play H5-3,
Black would have the initiative in both situations.
15. … R3=2 16. H9-7 R2=3
17. H7+9 R3=2
Red has to make a change, otherwise he has breached the rule of
“Two captures vs. One capture” (?????). Afterward, Black can
have the follow-up moves of C5=3 and H5+7. Obviously, Black is in a
superior position.
Summary: Due to Black’s passive defense and incorrect
counterattack in the first two variations when responding to the deceptive
play of Red that his Pawn is menacing Black’s Horse,, Red has succeeded
in his plot. In variation (3), by taking a tit for tat fight, Black has broken
the defense line of Red at one stroke in both games (3.1 and 3.2), thus
gaining the superior position.
Because of his unstable formation in this game, Red has met the
strong counterattack of Black along the central file, which is so orderly
and powerful.
Game 5: A Powerful Play
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
1. C2=5 C8=5 2. H2+3 H8+7
3. R1=2 P7+1 4. H8+7 H2+3
5. P7+1 C2+4
Black Cannon crossing the river is a well-known variation in the
opening of “same direction Cannon and filed Chariot vs. slow-action
of Chariot” (??????????), after which Black can have the
tactical play of C2=3 or C2=7. Black may also have the choice of R1+1.
6. H7+6
Driving Horse to the bank of the river is an outmoded play. In recent
years, there is some development in this opening. Red can also play H7+8
to block Black’s right Chariot, which will lead to a more complicated
situation of defense and offense.
6. … C2=7 7. C8=7
Another steady move for Red is R9=8. After that, Black can play
R9+1 (or play R1=2, which is also a correct move), then C8=7, R9=4,
H6+7, R4+2. Both sides are locked in an entangled position.
7. … R1=2 8. H6+7
It is a correct move. P7+1 may not be a good one, as Black can play
R2+5 to make a counterattack.
8. … C5=4 9. P7+1 R2+6
10. E7+9 (as shown in the diagram)
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
It is a move of deception that Red drives his Elephant to the edge.
His intention is to lure Black Chariot into moving sideways for taking
two pieces by one stroke, so that Red could succeed in his tactical scheme.
The common play is C7+2, C4+5, H3-5, R9+1, which will lead to a
situation that both sides are locked in attack.
In the situation as shown in the diagram, Black may have following
two variations: (1) R2=3; (2) R9=8. They may be developed into the
following possible lines:
(1) R2=3
10. … R2=3
Black hasn't seen through the intention of Red. When he moves
Chariot sideways in an attempt to take the two pieces, he has fallen into
the trap set by Red.
11. R9=7 R3-2
Black has thrown himself willingly into the trap, making the
situation more deteriorating. Had Black waken up timely by playing
A4+5, he still could have enough strength in resistance, though he had
lost the initiative.
12. C7+2!
Now, everything is clear. When his Cannon is driven forward, Red
can have the follow-up tactical moves of C7=5 and C5=7. Black’s
defense line will be broken.
12. … A4+5 13. C5=7 R3=4
14. C7+3
Now, Red is in an advantageous position as he has the material gain.
(2) R9=8
10. … R9=8!
A powerful play. Without the least hesitation, Black forces Red to
exchange Chariot with him.
11. R2+9
If he changed to play P7=6, Black would play R8+9, then H3-2,
H3-1 (he can also play R2=3), R9=7, A6+5. Both sides have some
scruples in their play. Black’s formation is more stable and has a potential
of development.
PDF created with pdfFactory Pro trial version www.pdffactory.com
11. … C7+3 12. A4+5 H7-8
13. P7=6
Had Red changed to play C5+4, Black would play C4=7 (If he
played C4=8, Red would play C5-1, then P7+1, It would lead to a
complicated situation), then C5-1, C7+5. Black would be in a superior
position as he has the material gain.
13. … C4=8
It is a well-knitted play that Black makes a sacrifice for mating. Had
he played R2=3, Red would play R9=7, then C4=8, H7-6. Black would
find it hard to control the situation.
14. C7+5 C7=9 15. H3+2
Red has no other alternatives. Otherwise, he will lose his Chariot.
15. … R2=5 16. E9-7 A6+5
By playing the Advisor, Black can strengthen his defense in the
central file and activate the central Chariot. It proves that Black is an
experienced player. If he changed to play P7+1, Red would play R9=8,
then A6+5 (If Black played P7=8, Red would play R8+3, then P8=7,
A5+4, R5-1, R8+1. Red would have enough strength in resistance), R8+4,
R5=7 or R5=8. It would lead to the situation that both sides have scruples
in their play.
17. R9=8
Had Red played H7+5, Black would play E7+5 (It is a steady play),
then C7=2, H8+6, C2-1, P7+1, Black would be in a superior position as
he could have the initiative of launching an attack. Or if Red played A5+6,
Black would play R5=8, then H2+4, R8+3, K5+1, R8-1 (C8+6 is also a
good move), K5-1, C8+5. Black is sure to win.
17. … R5=8 18. A5+4
If Red played H2+4, Black could play R8+3 (R8=2 is also a good
move, but this move is more aggressive), then A5+4, C8+5! C5=3, R8=7,
Black wins by taking an unconditional mating????.
18. … R8-1
Black has retrieved the pieces that he has lost. With a powerful
offensive, Black has secured a winning position.
Summary: In variation (1), as he fails to see through the plot of Red
deceptive play, Black has committed one big blunder after another, when
he retreats his Chariot for taking the opponent's Pawn. He is thrown into a

hopeless position. While in variation (2), Black plays positively by
making an exchange of Chariot with his opponent, thus winning the
victory.
Red 10th move is a play of deception that he drives his Elephant to
the edge. As his left Chariot is stalled and can not be driven into the battle
quickly, his formation lacks real worth. These are the weak points that
Red can not overcome. In variation (2), Black’s play is powerful, which
has inflicted a heavy blow on the Red deceptive play.
