King Hunt

If you are into seeing a king go for a wild ride, check out Game 978393...I'm sure there were numerous missed mates along the way🙂

Very nice mate congrats.

A classic example of a wild ride is Lasker-Thomas, skittles game 1912.

Nice ride and looked like. You missed 34 ... Qc6, but the win was there all along. Just shows the value of development.
