Dec-01-07  xeroxmachine: Here is a nice underpromotion and an amazing game for all of you Bush lovers to enjoy.
Dec-01-07  whiteshark: <xeroxmachine: <Bush lovers>> ??? I don't see any connections between Kate Bush's eclectic musical style and idiosyncratic lyrics and this game.... Will you may explain it, please?

  marcusantoinerome: I have two sources that say the final move is 58. ... Nc2#, not 58. ... Rb3#.

The first is Irving Chernev in the Feb 1953 issue of Chess Review, in his "Chernev's Chess Corner" column. The second is the book "Magyar Sakktortenet" Vol 3 by Gedeon Barcza and Arpad Foldeak. Among other Charousek games, they give this one on pp56-57.

Of course, in addition to these two mates, there is also 58. ... b4#. Chernev says, "With the choice of three mates on the move, Charousek decides to give the newest member of his army the honor of administering the coup de grace."
