Ah, thank you. Should have paid more attention. 😳

I know, the first moves I made were not good. But the result is satisfying ...Game 3467592

I was surprised by both h5 and Nxe4 (dxe4 and Black is doomed... of course I am wrong) good mate though.

After dxe5 Rh1+!! Kxh1 Qh4+ Kg1 Qh2#😉

Nice - but wouldn't Qh1 or Qg3 have been a little more elegant! (mating with fewer pieces!) 😀

This one turned out like something straight from the books. White to play and win in three.

Game 2229532


White to move and win. Even my opponent said nice things about the game. 🙂

An interesting one.

20. ... bf5 and Black still lives. He loses, but he's alive. The sacrifice was sound.

very good mate!

My most beloved Traxler is Game 3961249
in the end I was two rooks and a pawn back
( only the last 5 or 6 moves were not in the book! )

This is the only game I can think of where I sacrificed my Queen, and even this is more through luck than anything else; there is probably a defence.
