Jun-08-05		kevin86: A race to avoid stalemate ends in a surprise checkmate

Jul-04-05		Madman99X: Fascinating endgame, and rather unique. To chessgames: the 57th move should read 57. Be1# should it not?

Sep-07-05		lopium: That's not only a nice end, but what a nice game!

Apr-30-06		soberknight: Interesting endgame, and thanks to <kevin86> for putting it in his collection. The final position is "checklock" in fairy chess language: it's checkmate, and it would also be stalemate even if it weren't checkmate.

Dec-30-07		DanLanglois: 12 f4? Instead, 12 Ne4! and White is just winning (12...Bxe5 13 c3 Ndf5 14 Bxc5 Qc7 15 f4).
