Curious Conclusions

I thought I would share some games from an old chess book I have, "The Chess Companion". The chapter Curious Conclusions has games that end, well, I'll let you see.

1.Nc3 c5 2.e4 Nc6 3.Nf3 e6 4.d4 cxd4 5.Nxd4 a6 6.a4 Qc7 7.Be2 Nf6 8.0-0 Be7 9.Be3 0-0 10.Qd2 d6 11.Nb3 Kh8 12.a5 Nd7 13.Na4 Bd8 14.Nb6 Nxb6 15.axb6 Qb8 16.Rfd1 Be7 17.c4 Nd8 18.c5! dxc5 19.Bxc5 Nc6 20.Bxe7 Nxe7 21.Qb4 Ng6 22.Rd6! h6 23.Rad1 Kh7 24.g3 Ne7 25.Na5 f5 26.Rd8 Rxd8 27.Rxd8 Ng6 28.exf5 exf5 29.f4 1-0


Black is tied hand and foot. If 29...Nh8 30.Qf8 Ng6 Qg8#, or if 29...h5 30Bxh5 Kh6 31.Qe7! Kh7 32.Qe8 and white mates soon

p.s.I'm changing the notation to something readable so there will be a large delay in between posts.
