That is a good game SG. Lovely (who,when where? It deserves to be more well known.)

alfeliz - greenpawn34 RHP 2010

Features a smashing 'might have been.'
(What was actually played is not too bad either. It contains a smashing Rook lift.)

I see some fantastic things on my board when I tossing the bits about.
Some are too fantastic, but I believe these fantasy trips helps you spots
things.
You store ideas for a rainy day.



Here is what happened in the game.

Lovely checkmate greenpawn. How do you come up with such great, juicy mating patterns?

Ahh, I meant to copy that stuff to the PGN. It was Game 10043554.

Hi Tygert

Playing over 1,00's of short games from books dedicated to short
games and traps (and I mean hundred's).

Sometimes, as in the first game, the mate is unplayed, an unheard melody
I call them. It was either missed or thwarted or totally screwed up.

I recently screwed up a nice mate in a Championship game with one
clumsy 'winning' move. I'll post it when it's over.

It is hard to believe you came back to win that game after that terrible blunder that lost a Rook. Many people would have resigned right then. I probably would have.

One of my earlier games, when still learning the basics
so detailed explanation isnt really necessary.

Black played the king right into mate, which seemed to come out of nowhere



not the most instructive mate, but a nice looking one i feel

He was a piece down, but playing a move like 19...Kc5 is putting your own head on the block. Right into a ready-made mating net.

These sorts of mates can happen later in the endgame, as in this from another one of my games.

Edit: the PGN's not showing up. Foiled again by RHP's PGN viewer.
FIX'D. I had a smiley face in there and we can't smile in a PGN because that's a variation. 😞

Agh greenpawn, I don't understand your or SwissGambit's riddle. What I meant was
answer
