Jul-24-04		iron maiden: While the pun brought a groan to my lips, it was appropriate because I'm leaving for New York early in the morning. 24. Rh7+ is an interesting x-ray tactic leading to inevitable mate.

Jul-24-04		suenteus po 147: <iron maiden> Good luck in NYC! You will let us know how you do :) 24...Kxg6 25.Qxh5# is the quick way, or 24...Kg5 25.Bc1+ Re3 26.Bxe3+ Kxg6 27.Qxh5# finishes it off inevitably, just like iron maiden says.

Jul-24-04		Zembla: <iron maiden> Try the Chess & Checkers House in Central Park. That's a nice place.

Jul-31-04		iron maiden: Thanks Zembla and SP. So far I've been getting destroyed and I haven't even set foot in Central Park yet!

Mar-24-06		Whitehat1963: Clever little puzzle after 21...Qc6. (Player of the Day)
