| drukenknight: Sneaky you talk about Anastasias mate and Philidors mater. isnt there something called Epaulette mate that looks similar to this? its called epaulette because the K is flanked by two pieces and so it looks like he is wearing epaulettes on his shoulder. Anee how. |

| drukenknight: Schiller I think used to have a web page with lots of mates. I dont think I have the link, maybe someone can do a google search. |

| morphynoman2: Maybe one move was missed in the original score, and black king actually was in h8. And then, this combination is perfect at all. |

| ughaibu: On the other hand white doesn't play like a very strong player and maybe he took the queen. Have you a suggestion for the missing white move? |

| Bears092: Looks to me like Qxa6 was the big mistake. |

| morphynoman2: How 35. Nxc7, Shadout? White king is in check. |

| Shadout Mapes: I was replying to darnold's 34.Ka2 Nd2 with 35.Nxc7. |

| MoonlitKnight: His opponent must have been Ztupid not to play 34. a2. |

| Alchemist: I just have to say that this is a beautiful adaptation of the smothered mate. |

| Whitehat1963: Interesting game, but what's the purpose of 12. f4? |

| vonKrolock: i believe this is the game in which Loyd anounced a forced mate starting whith the sparkling 29...Ta1!!?, and his adversary, evidently trusting in Loyd's genius, resigned the game imediatly, and only after this saw that it's not a forced mate at all (34.Ka2!! instead of the text move) more details in A.White's Loyd's biography... (the tournament's comitee judged the question in Loyd's favour!) |

| tpstar: <RunnerUp> The previous posters are correct = after 34. Ka2! Ra8+ 35. Kxb3 Black has no attack, so best was 34 ... Qxc2 and now Sneaky's 35. Qc6! consolidates nicely by preventing 35 ... Ra8+ (and not 35. Qxb3? Ra8+ wins the Queen). Therefore, it should be designated 29. Ra1+?! instead, but still an enjoyable and unique combination. |

| RunnerUp: KxB3? Isn't the knight on D2? |

| tpstar: <RunnerUp> Good job, friend = attention to detail! The same move which loses the first time (32. Ka2? Ra8+) wins the second time (34. Ka2!). Get it? |
|

| RunnerUp: ahh... i've been looking at 32.Ka2, not 34.ka2. good feedback tpstar |
