The Assassin Pawn


Nimzo5 answered my plea for any pictures of you playing Chess.
Here he is playing Spassky in a simultaneous display.

Nimzo got a draw! Here is the game.

Boris Spassky - Nimzo5, Reno 2004.

The Assassin Pawn.
The Assassin




















I decided to name a pawn that mates a King an Assassin.

First an illustration of the Assassin in action.

mrdougie - Hamish McLobbie RHP 2010



Now an Assassin Combination .

Agarath - Indosmart RHP 2008



Rumdrum - jamal ham RHP 2006

Black activates his King for the ending but strays too far into the White camp.



mang00neg - desertdiver RHP


The Assassin is the h6 pawn.



And now an opening close to my heart. The Latvian Gambit.
The Assassin here is the f7 Pawn. The Latvian Gambit pawn.

Dutch Defense - Libellule RHP 2007



And this next one is just plain daft.
Black attacks White with his Kingside pawns and a lone Bishop.
The Assassin starts of h7 and 15 moves later he strikes.

taipei5200 - goCavaliers RHP 2009



OK to make up for that last game we end this Assassin Anthology with
a wonderful piece of Chess Trickery..

Nallapuh - rcstas RHP 2005



We end with a cartoon Assassin.

weller - Sl64w RHP 2001


Black is getting mated here no matter what he does.
He decides to enter the Black Museum. 1….g5


2.hxg6 ep Mate. You don’t see an En Passant Mate everyday.
And only an Assassin can do that.
