    Iceland has had a record 31 cm of snow in one day today, if it lasts until the 4th January I'll build a snow chess piece then (it may not be a knight though, that is beyond my artistic ability). Happy New Year 🙂

    I began my chess life as a big fan of John Nunn, and patterned my black opening repertoire after him- sort of like an 8 year old who finds his Dad's liquor cabinet unlocked, with roughly the same result!

    Wowzers, check out the great finish to this game, which I believe is consistent with the theme of this thread.

    I was hoping to see a game where some unfortunate chappie had
    been caught with the Greenhorn Trap.

    However I was disapointed. Good alert wrap up.

    PS:
    Skeeter has just PM'd me.

    She says SmittyTime posted games are the best. 🙂

    How could she PM if she is banned?

    Easy.

    I set my system date back to two days before she was banned and there she was.

    That looks like a master level game. Was the White player a chess master?

    P.S. 28...Rfc8 may save black for the black king would have an escape
    sguare. But seeing that is due to my RJ Hindsight.

    No, that wasn't a Master. That was one of my recent wins.

    It was relatively easy to see the mate in 5 with most of the pieces on excellent squares. More difficult and challenging are the sacs where you can't calculate the immediate outcome.

    He never said it was via RHP, he just said skeeter PM'd him.
