European 1 into 9 King's Mail With a Twist
|
|
Basic Pattern
|
 European 1 into 9 King's Mail With a Twist is an advancement of plain King's Mail that I developed.
The only difference is that every doubled link passes through its double, instead of sitting beside it.
This means that every link actually passes through 9 other links.
As far as I'm aware there is no historical basis for this pattern.
|
|
|
|
Including preparing doubled links, the ratio of links for this pattern is 1 Closed Link to 3 Opened Links.
