Chandler's hardcover puzzle book can be used as a deck of flashcards, left side only. It'll be useful for years. Breeze through it in a few minutes, left side only. Some examples are forced draws and promotion, not a checkmate but all good maneuvers to keep fresh in mind.

This is Deadly Checkmate 1: Anastasia's Mate, p. 14.

Nov-21-22  stone free or die: Of course this game has a fun finish, and a beautiful mate (with some measure of White cooperation).

But chess player's have to play defense too. What would Black do if White had played 26.Kh1 instead?

  fredthebear: Paying members see the Stockfish analysis:

26.Ng4? 26.Kh1 Nf3 27.gxf3 Qxf3+ 28.Kh2 Qf4+ 29.Kh1 Qf3+ = 0.00 (32 ply)

Nov-23-22  stone free or die: All members do, it's in the link I gave.

Black has other variations to try, but after 26.Kh1 Black can pretty much force an immediate draw with the line given.

Black isn't trying to force a draw, you knucklehead. It's White that would take the draw, rather than lose to Anastasia's Mate.

As Keene and Botterill wryly noted in their work on the Pirc, the losers ought to be given brilliancy prizes for making it all possible.

  perfidious: More maundering, a propos de rien.
