| ChessGeezer: Does 35 Rc4+ win too? It looks easier than Qxe6 to me. I must be missing something. |

Nov-19-10 Y Wan vs S Abu Sufian, 2009
| |
| ChessGeezer: I saw the first few moves and recognized it as an exercise in chasing the King. I did not follow it all the way through to checkmate in every line because I am lazy this morning. I am certain I do not get full credit. Maybe I'll claim 2 points. That gives me a total of 7 for the |

Nov-18-10 Kasparov vs A Georgiadis, 1996
| |
| ChessGeezer: Missed it. I also have to deduct a point because I did not notice the consequences of taking the Rook on yesterday's puzzle until I read <dzechiel>'s post. That means I have a total of 5 points this week. |

| |
| ChessGeezer: <dzechiel - Back in high school (by this I mean the '60's) we would start the chess club up each new year with an announcement in the morning bulletin, "We will study mating positions at the first meeting of the chess club this afternoon in room...".> I'll bet that was one |

Oct-22-08 Morant vs A de Feuquieres, 1680
| |
| ChessGeezer: This position reminds me of the "Fishing Pole" defense some folks play here in Colorado against e4 openings. The colors are reversed in this game. Key elements of the "Fishing Pole" are that White castles quickly, Black does not castle, Black puts a Knight on g5, White usually ... |
