NEON TETRA - Autumn 1903 GM Ally Bain
Last move I said it was very interesting, this time I will have to say it is very, very, interesting!
In a similar way, Germany has definitely broken the 'Eastern Square' by taking Warsaw. I am unsure whether France are trying to join in or just move into further 'Western Corners' by them taking Munich in this move.
Russia has gained another Turkish SC & Austrian definitely made sure they removed the Italians from Trieste. England is more or less in the same position bar Norwegian Sea.
