The losing position diagrammed below occurred in the Asa Long VS. William Kilgour, Second International Match Game Number 390. Long (Red) drew the position in the diagram but could have won. It is now Red's turn to move. Can you take the Red side and force a win?

Horseshoes
|
Feb 23, 2006 -Horseshoe is a great fun sport. Dad once told me that he had never known a horseshoe pitcher to have appendicitis. The shoes I am holding Click for photo, I have had since 1950. Dad mailed them to me when I was assigned to the 351st Inf. Regt. in Trieste, FTT (now Trieste, Italy), from 1949 to 1952. Again dad mailed them to me when I was assigned to the 25th Inf. Div. at Camp Casey, South Korea in 1954. The shoes won me the championship in 1960 at Fort Gordon, GA, and again that same year against Mr. Taylor at Fort Bliss, TX. Click here for further biography.
