Hi! My name is Tony and I live in Canada. My favorite players are Mikhail Tal, Bobby Fischer, and Gary Kasparov. My rating is currently unavailable (sorry). In case you want to know my age, I'm 12 years old.
Favorite Mating Pattern:
1.e4 c6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.Nxe4 Nd7 5.Qe2 Ngf6 6.Nd6#
Final position of mating pattern:

Favorite Opening as White: English, Symmetrical Favorite Opening as Black: Grunfeld
A very strange puzzle:

By Carl Jaenisch (White to play and mate in ten. Note: The mate can be done 1 move with 1.Ng5#, 1.Rd5# or 1.Qd5# but I made ten moves just because of the final position; look for a smothered mate). Answer is in my Game Collection titled "Interesting Mating Patterns".

Mar-22-06 Fischer vs Benko, 1959

chesscrazy: <MorphyMatt> 52. Rxh6 doesn't win because the g-pawn would be able to queen. (52. Rxh6?? g2! 53. ____ g1=Q)

chesscrazy: <AlexanderMorphy> You have to know FEN notation and you use that to put a board on.

Jan-21-06 Topalov vs I Sokolov, 2006

chesscrazy: Just as I thought.

Jan-18-06 Fischer vs Matulovic, 1970

chesscrazy: I think 9...Qh4+ was the better move and that Fischer missed 10.Ne5!

Jan-11-06 Unzicker vs Tal, 1960

chesscrazy: 17.Qe2 was the major mistake, 17.Be3 is better.

Jan-10-06 Capablanca vs H Steiner, 1933

chesscrazy: Anybody know where I can download a Fritz or any other program of the internet? (With analyzing and all that stuff) BTW, nice puzzle. Interesting mate.

Jan-10-06 Kasparov vs L Evers, 1988

chesscrazy: Possibly but there are other squares that the white queen can go to.

Jan-07-06 Karlstrom vs Simmens, 1967

Dec-28-05 Rublevsky vs Jakovenko, 2005

chesscrazy: I don't get it. 49...Kxf7 and if 50.c6 Ke7 51.c7 Kd7 stops the pawn. My head hurts.
