  gawain: Recognition for the obscure! This player (identified as Edgard Tchelebi of Beirut) is credited by Edward Winter with finding a lovely seven-move forced mate missed by Zukertort himself in "Zukertort's Immortal" game against Blackburne (1883. Here is the link to Winter's Chess Explorations (2) part II:

It's worth a look. This is the position after Black's 30th move

Zukertort won after 31 Bxe5 which is certainly decisive. Can you find the quicker win that Chalabi saw?

  GrahamClayton: Chalabi's death resulted in the cancellation of the 1963 Lebanon championship tournament.
