Ninja levelSound familiar?
That child who loves a clever plan more than the game in front of them. They build something neat, a row of pawns or a careful setup, and admire it while the game moves on.
Morten lines his pawns up in chains, triangles and long walls, and his bishops, rooks and queen shoot through the gaps. Against him, your child learns to look all the way along every line before moving. A wall that has to move leaves good squares behind it, and those squares belong to your child's pieces.
Morten's signature moves
Three things to watch for in a game against Morten.
In every example, Morten plays the black pieces.
The pawn wall
He loves coming up with his own strategies for building pawn walls. You never know which wall he will build in your game.
The door in the wall
His walls are not always as strong as he thinks. In most games the pawns in front of his king step forward. That can open a door for your piece.
The long shot
His bishops, rooks and queen shoot from far away, through the gaps between his pawns.
