Joined 26 Aug '07 Moves 38239 Hi does anyone know of any famous games with extraordinary king walks, i seem to recall a Tal game and a Nigel Short game as well as a game that was played by two relatively unknown players in British India by some emissary or other, but i am unable to trace them at the moment. Any help would be most appreciated - thanks in advance Robbie.

Lol, yes, that's the type of thing, although i was hoping for a little more success from the person who takes the king for a walk 🙂

White would have mated in your great game with a queen-side castle which I think recalls a famous Morphy win.

Short vs Timman 1991
1.e4 Nf6 2.e5 Nd5 3.d4 d6 4.Nf3 g6 5.Bc4 Nb6 6.Bb3 Bg7 7.Qe2
If at move 31 for white the task was
'mate for white in six moves'
Who could've envisaged that?
