|
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-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. |

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.) |

|
gawain: Finding a mating finish here is Easier Than Very Easy. It practically plays itself. Still, it's fun that there are different ways. |
