If the game is going to be lost on material, finish off your opponents pawns even if you have to hand over a couple of pieces like these! It is not easy for most people. And be prepared to face an opponent who could do it to you! It may take several hours or days of practice to figure out how the wall is applied to force the opponents king to the right corner. } 1-0
