thanks, but back to the point, I always though there was some luck involved in chess, and precisely that kind of one, having the luck to think about the best move on the first seconds of thought, or perhaps the opposite, failing to see that a very strong move happens to have an even stronger countermove.

Except that you don´t want to play the ladder unless there is a helping stone somewhere along the way.

I was aware of that. To get stalemate White has to prevent his bishop and king having a move pretty quickly. I am aware of the solution, but am trying not to give it away for others.
I prefer to give the lawmakers credit for stating things for a reason - barmar
