Feb-06-23 D Kosic vs S Cvetkovic, 1994   gawain: Pleasing finish, with the mate coming via 40...Rh1 no matter which defensive move White chooses.      Aug-22-22 NN vs F Rhine, 2019    gawain: A gem.      Aug-16-22 E Bataev vs V Popov, 1999    gawain: That was a Tuesday?      Aug-03-22 A Romero Holmes vs Lobron, 1987   gawain: Needed extra time to see this one, even though it just had to be the check on f2. Nothing else was plausible at all.      Jul-25-22 B Rabar vs E Paoli, 1953    gawain: Saw the winning knight check right away. Hooray for me! Even on a Monday.      Jul-18-22 Damljanovic vs P Popovic, 1997    gawain: This was something a little different for a Monday. The White queen has nowhere to run once attacked via 38 ... Bf6. White can save the queen only by giving up a bishop. Hopeless.      Jul-11-22 M Womacka vs G Wolf, 1997    gawain: A pretty and extremely efficient finish.      Jun-27-22 B Starck vs D Bertholdt, 1962    gawain: Mate delivered by a pawn after the queen self-sacrificially plunges into the Black king's neighborhood. A nice surprise! (I mean nice for a solver. Not nice at all for Black.)      Jun-20-22 P Hoppner vs D Moody, 1979    gawain: Finding a mating finish here is Easier Than Very Easy. It practically plays itself. Still, it's fun that there are different ways.      Jun-13-22 A Ivanov vs M Taleb, 2003    gawain: I agree with <TheaN>.
