Oct-08-11		GrahamClayton: Purdy resigned as McIntosh had sent the following series of conditional moves: 19. exd5 cd3+ 20. xd3 xd3+ 21. e2 b5 22. g1 f2+ 23. e1 0-0 mating or winning the Queen.

Oct-08-11		zubenator: that's kinda morbid, isn't it :( but maybe it's a celebratory pun :)

Oct-08-11		kevin86: White's blunder just means that he wasn't using the old Apple.

Oct-08-11		lemaire90: It's fascinating to understand why the e4 pawn could never actually capture the bishop and rook ! Great play by McIntosh. Too bad it took Steve Jobs's death for this game to be GOTD.
