Coordinating the Chariot and Cannon with Elephant support to systematically dismantle Black's fortress.
This endgame study showcases master-level piece coordination in a Chariot and Cannon versus Chariot and Elephant scenario. Red skillfully utilizes the Cannon as a mounted screen alongside the Chariot to forge a multi-layered mating net, immobilizing the Black general. Black's primary weakness stems from a disconnected Chariot and poor defensive synergy. The core lesson emphasizes space control and the devastating synergy of back-rank Cannon assaults backed by heavy artillery.
