Liechtenauer 04: Zornhau - oben Abnehmen

It follows the second piece to the Zornhau with the Zedel “Wirt er es gewar So nÿm oben ab ane far“. “If he becomes aware of it, take off the top without him noticing.“ The piece indicates a possibility of action if the opponent strongly displaces the first piece (Zornhau place), that is the stab. In modern technical vocabulary, one could speak of a rimesse.
