I thought he was in Connecticut with another lad.
(is that where Harvard is? or is it Yale?)
I may have got mixed up. Mind you I'm dealing with RHP players here.
The chances are most of them won't know the name of the town they live in. 🙂
Witness this delightful disaster.

What a ridiculous game. I think you give these players far too much credit by claiming that they played one move in preparation for the next. 🙂
But yes, it was me who was in Connecticut (which is also where Yale is). At least, I think it was. I may have gotten myself confused again.
You have to give them some form of encouragemant.
And anyway without these lads and their games I'd have no Blog.
(the next one is loaded with players taking perpetuals instead of mates.)
Here is another that won't make the blog so you can only imagine
what games I have chosen.
(You did not say you spotted the missed mates....now you have two to answer.)

And in the second, Rf6# can't be bad.
Years ago, I was mighty proud the first time I ever won a game in an OTB tourney. After the game, my opponent pulled me aside and showed me how I could have won 10 moves earlier.
I said I was just drawing it out because I was annoyed that he hadn't resigned yet. 😵
