    The latest RHP Championship Report with a strong football slant.

    A Player resigning in a won position.
    A player missing mate in one and allowing a stalemate.
    Players castling into mate in one both on the Kingside and the QUeenside.
    Missed Chances, Own Goals and Gaffs.

    And the Maradona Mate.

    Hi Ponderable,

    I consider Maradona as the greatest ever football player. (a hand of God joke simply
    escaped me, though if I had worked on it I'm sure I could have found an example.)

    The 'Maradona Mate' is more catchy than 'The Family Fork Checkmate.'

    Hi GP,
    another good Blog. I enjoy reading them, but don't always have much to say. Keep it up, as the actress said to the chess piece...
