Jun-25-18 S Platzack vs J van Baarle, 1967    SamAtoms1980: <Penguincw: Ugh, I missed it, because I thought it was white to move. 1.Qh8+ Bxh8 2.Rxh8# 1-0. It's mate, right? If so, then why even bother checking to see whose move it is? (not that often you get those "side to move, mates" positions)> LOL, it's a duplex -- a queen-sac      May-21-18 S Maroroa vs A Diamant, 2018    SamAtoms1980: The hardest part about this puzzle was convincing myself that the board was not in fact upside-down.      Apr-09-18 Vitiugov vs Caruana, 2018    SamAtoms1980: Won't speculate as to how it will go for Caruana when all the marbles are on the line, but he has sent a lot of messages.      Apr-06-18 Vitiugov vs M Vachier-Lagrave, 2018    SamAtoms1980: Why stop here, guys? Let's get a little fencing action going on. See which king is made of the stronger wood...... :-)      Apr-05-18 Naiditsch vs M Bluebaum, 2018    SamAtoms1980: One of my favorites is "eiswein" (no, <not> ice wine!)      Apr-02-18 J Littlewood vs G Abrahams, 1962    SamAtoms1980: <JJF: Who in the world is chrisowen and what language does he speak?> Haven't yet figured that out, but he's been doing this for a very long time and most of us are in the habit of treating him respectfully. He just might have the power to summon a winged balrog to your ...      Dec-14-17 Constant de Cock    SamAtoms1980: <Check It Out: I came here to see the flys…> You mean the flyys, right? As in "Flen flyys"? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flen_...      Dec-16-16 Kibitzer's Café    SamAtoms1980: <Domdaniel: A zero-word review is impressive.> Heh, it's reminiscent of the facetious "Mate in 0" problems where you produce checkmate by turning the board upside-down.      Nov-30-16 Carlsen vs Karjakin, 2016    SamAtoms1980: Heh, very nice ending. The crown remains on the fjord.      Mar-28-16 I Kurnosov vs M Dzhumaev, 2008    SamAtoms1980: Hard to believe this was a game between two 2500+ players.
