I don't know what horse is. But your moves do not
make sense. I could only go this far with them.
Look at the moves on the right of the board.
All pawns start on the rank #2 . To move a pawn two space forward it's written like it on diagram.
When a piece like the bishop is moved it's,  5. Bd2
Moves 6 and 7  are impossible to make.
Maybe I just don't understand it.
I hope this helps.

I believe he's referring to the Lasker Trap: 

 

 

As you can see, in this position Black has the choice between promoting to a queen and promoting to a knight.  In this position, promoting to a knight is very much better, as it puts White in check and forces him to move the king or fall victim to a skewer by the bishop.  If black converts to a queen, White can just swap off queens and then take the new queen with his rook.

Oh, and...DENVERHIGH - moves 6 and 7 are only impossible to make if you copy down move 3 incorrectly - it says D5-D4, not D5-C4.  Although I'm not sure what's going on with the D1-D4 at the beginning.  Smile

HEY Thikron when e*f2+ then if e*f2 then d*d1


Yes...that's exactly what I said

and when king moves to e2 then black's bishop goes to g4 and make check

 Not only is this wrong, it's actually contradicting what you said earlier.  If 7. Ke2 Bg4 then 8. Nf3 and White is OK.

For me the Queen is the best piece but I love the knight since it has the ability to attack a opponent queen with out the need of protection and knights helped me won many games but still the queen is better or if you want more proof try to win a game with 19 knights one king and your opponent have 19 queens and one king I assure you that you will lose like hell (you will win if the game is your opponents first game)
