A dangerous board position arises when the Black General is exposed at row 5, column 10, facing a Red frontline with only one Horse, one Cannon, one Elephant, and one Advisor. Analyze tactics like the **open cannon threat**, **diagonal horse ambush**, and **elephant blocking defense** to counterattack before the Black Pawns advance. Challenge question: "*If you were Red, which move would immediately set up the 'double horse interlock' formation in the first turn?*"
