  Bubo bubo: <TheBishopSweden> Thank you for bringing this beautiful game to my attention. It's now in the database, too.
Mar-15-21  Calydon: Here is another game that should be in the database. The mating combination starting with 30... Nxe7 by White is simply superb, and not trivial to find. His opponent was IM Thomas Engqvist who has many games in the db. My source is Alan Bester's excellent 'Bishops on the Attack' course.
