Black on the move wins in 5 moves, thus:

(1) 16-19 27-31 (2) 20-24 32-27 (3) 28-32 27x20 (4) 19-24 20x27 (5) 32x23

and White is pinned.

With three Kings against four a player can sometimes offer prolonged resistance. But finally the stronger player will always be able to force an exchange which secures the victory. In the position of Diagram 92 for instance Black will proceed as follows:

(1) 18-15 19-24

It would not help to play 27-24, as Black would reply 14-17 and exchange on the next move by 10-14.

(2) 11-16

limiting White's mobility.

(2) … 23-26

In answer to 24-20 Black would play 15-19.
