  An Englishman: Good Evening: Given that the Sandrin brothers both mated with f8/N, and given that <Phony Benoni> has already given us the title for the pair of games, I wonder if Chessgames can post both games as Games of the Day on the same day. How about it, CG? Can this happen?

  FSR: Good job by Angelo. It took him five years longer to pull off f8=N# at a U.S. Open, but he did it nine moves faster!

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Does anyone know of any games between Angelo and Albert? The database doesn't include any as of today (7/2/18).

I think the Great Sargon missed a trick today. The other game, A Sandrin vs J C Barnes, 1954, could have been Position of the Day today. Or vice versa.

Jul-02-18  goodevans: This game was quite interesting to play through. The other was a one-sided massacre.
Jul-02-18  catlover: Maybe this unusual mating pattern should be called the "Sandrin mate".
Jul-02-18  Ironmanth: Beautiful finish!
Jul-02-18  cormier: Stockfish 8 (minimum 30s/ply) 8. O-O? <8.Nd4> Bxd4 9.Bxb7 Bxf2+ 10.Kxf2 Nd7 11.Bxa8 Qxa8 + / = +0.93 (32 ply)
