'Special positions such as these are good for white - whatever move black does, white can joop the other knight:' |

'like this; white wins' |

With Safeway and Jabborg returning from their dressing rooms, the referee rounded up his explanation; 'knights can only joop within the b7:G2 grid and players must make their moves immediately after their opponent has moved - only a split second delay is allowed, as soon as a player has been 'jooped', they must present their rook to a1 (if white) or h8 (if black) so that the opponent's king can capture and that colour will win the game!' |

|
Both Jabborg and Safeway were on their feet (Safeway stood on his chair) rapidly making their moves, one spectator present at the game had said 'their hands were a blur!' another spectator had likened this part of the game to a table-tennis match - particularly safeway, as he had to occasionally jump to achieve his moves. |

112. Nfe5 Nc3
|
Jabborg stays close to his king for protection |
|
| |
|
|
113. Ne3 Nc2 114. Nf3 Ne2
|
Safeway can't joop vertically because it would be outside the grid. |
|
| |
|
|
115. Nd4 Ne1 116. Nf3 Ng3
|
a close double joop |
|
| |
|
|
117. Nf1 Ng2
|
Jabborg threatens a diagonal joop on the f3 knight |
|
| |
|
|
118. Ng5 Nf4 119. Nh2
|
In the heat of the game, Safeway misses an opportunity for the diagonal joop on e3 |
|
| |
|
|
119... Ne4 120. Ng4
|
Jabborg can't move his e4 knight because he would be jooped |

126. Ng4
|
Bombshell! Safeway had caught Jabborg in a Kweedian death trap - there was no way he could escape defeat now. Whichever knight Jabborg moved, Safeway would joop the other knight. |

|
|
126... Nc3
|
|
|
| |
|
|
127. Ne4
|
After this move, a huge cheer had gone up in the audience, Safeway had gloriously punched his arms into the sky and Jabborg was just staring at the horizontal joop in utter disbelief. |
|
| |
|
|
127... Rh8
|
Completely gutted, Jabborg, with a sulkish facial expression, reluctantly moved his rook to h8 (so that Safeway can capture the final rook and win the game - as the rule dictates) |
