A '?' on Black's 9th leads to a plus-over-minus on White's 10th, which is awarded a '!'. A couple of White's subsequent moves are also awarded a '!', after which Black is lost.
Certain that there must be a better way to use the 'plus-over-minus' notation, I discovered Wikipedia's page Numeric Annotation Glyphs, which equates various chess notation symbols to Unicode. Here's a table of the relevant symbols and codes.
| ‼ | 8252 | '‼' vs. '!!' |
| ⁇ | 8263 | '⁇' vs. '??' |
| ⁉ | 8265 | '⁉' vs. '!?' |
| ⁈ | 8264 | '⁈' vs. '?!' |
| □ | 9633 | Wikipedia shows '9632' (which is ■) |
| ∞ | 8734 | See also Unclear Positions (and follow ups) |
| ⩲ | 10866 | |
| ⩱ | 10865 | |
| ± | 177 | |
| ∓ | 8723 | |
| ⨀ | 10752 | |
| ⟳ | 10227 | |
| → | 8594 | |
| ↑ | 8593 | |
| ∆ | 8710 | |
| ⌓ | 8979 | |
| ⇔ | 8660 | |
| ⇗ | 8663 | |
| ⟫ | 10219 | |
| ⟪ | 10218 | |
| ✕ | 10005 | |
| ⊥ | 8869 |
Now here's the same awkward explanation using Unicode:-
A '?' on Black's 9th leads to a '±' on White's 10th, which is awarded a '!'. A couple of White's subsequent moves are also awarded a '!', after which Black is lost.
Looks good, but more trials necessary... Thanks, Wikipedia!
