A picture of ' before and after' chess set.

A couple of RHP games featuring 14 consecutive captures.

An Aiken Rook ending (don’t groan, things to be learned here, this one is easy
to remember and may, you never know, score you a point or two in the future.)

An Unheard Melody from a Ray Keene game.

The Ray Keene game. That one was breathtakingly stylish.
Absolutely brilliant.

The diagrams have disappeared from the blog.

Is the dame for everyone or is it just me?

They don't display for me either, despite using a fairly recent version of Firefox (84.0.2). I wonder whether this issue could be related to the change announced at https://www.redhotpawn.com/forum/announcements/maintenance-complete--browser-support-going-forward.189293# .

I have replaced the [fen] with a gif picture as a quick fix for this one
but other, though for some strange not all, blog pages are affected.

I've informed Russ,

This should be fixed now. The issue was related to the update.

In the second game the extra piece goes missing because Nxe5 is a pawn capturenot a piece

Hi Malky58,

First time around I counted to 14...then noticed a piece missing.....eh?
I did figure it out (eventually) but let the comment run as a wee joke.
