Sure, I did it once, but I think the real pattern is that everyone over‑prepared and everyone under‑prepared at the same time. The archers on the hill were like a rook, blocking the flanks, while the Saxon shield wall moved like a stubborn pawn. The Normans kept a reserve of knights that were deployed at the precise moment the shield wall broke, just like a well‑timed promotion in chess. The end result was a cascade of checks and mates – the king in the battlefield’s chaos – and the map of moves just looks like a messy but ultimately efficient algorithm.
