I am sure some of you have already seen this game on the front page but I just quite enjoyed the finish - there is something especially satisfying about winning a game from such a material deficit.

I like the old way better. If I saw an interesting position, I could see how it go there and try to figure out what I'd do in that position.

Yes, it feels good to win when down like that, but it feels worse to lose when up like that.

I figured that give the fact that these were two weak players, we weren't going to try to comment on the game.

But since you started, how about:

31.Qf6+ Rg7 32Qf8+ Rg8 33.Qg8#

I'm sure there are even earlier chances of forced checkmate overlooked by white.

Black just kept going and going and going.

You get the feeling if he had lost all his pieces he would have
attacked the other guy with his King.

Purist will scoff and truth seekers will sneer, but as long as
games like this between two humans continued to get played
then chess is alive and kicking.

Bravo Poser. This one will appear will on you know where.

Cheers.

We're all patzers from a better player's point of view.

You improve at chess so that you can get beat by better players.
