When you first log onto RHP you see some checkmates,
(chosen at random?) that have happened on the site.
I suppose like me most of you quickly click on.
But this one caught my eye.
White misses mate in one twice (move 29 is the first one).
It started in 2007 and finished just a few weeks ago.
It's an entertaing wee gem.
