Five-Eight Cannon (Wu Ba Pao) vs Screen Horses
An aggressive Central Cannon variant where the left cannon jumps to the river to harass Black's horses and seize space.
Screen Horses: Black's Reply
Black builds 马8进7 + 马2进3 to blunt the attack.
Strategic Context
Five-Eight Cannon trades solidity for activity. The river cannon pins and pressures, but Red must watch the back rank.
