CHECKMATE in under 20 moves

Just finished this one with my "new" answer to 1.e4

My refutation of the Sicilian defence. Although I'm guessing this isn't original and already has a name...?

That is basically a sveshnikov through a rauzer move order. The sacrifice is known and fxe4 was a mistake by him.

I recently played a game in my favourite opening (van Geet or Dunst opening) and I stumbled across a Legal like mate:

If nothing else, it fits with the title of the thread.

How come? That simply loses the Knight, unless I'm missing something incredible obvious.... which IS normal.

7. Nxf7 KxN
8. Qh5+ ...
9. QxB

Thanks.

Hi

Here he could have just won the Bishop by floating Noah's Ark.

Typical, I have 1 game for this this morning, then I get another one by the evening.

Thanks for that first analysis GP - And thanks for showing me Noah's Ark. I've used that before OTB.

just finished this game, seems worth looking at 🙂
