Oct-26-04 NN vs E Canal, 1935

| BluE DicE: A very pretty mate. I got this one pretty fast, because it reminded me of some positions I studied when I was learning. I'll find myself looking for that elusive Smothered Mate, but the oppurtunity rarely occurs in my games. |

| |
| BluE DicE: I got this one straight away, but that doesn't happen alot with me so I'm happy. I think it was easy for me because I've stumbled apon positions like that in my play. The other week I offered a rook in order to trap the black king in the corner, then mated him with a single ... |

| |
| BluE DicE: Is there a mate here? The nastiest play I found was... 28. Qxg2, Qxh4+
29. Qh3, Rxh1+

| |
| BluE DicE: I pretty much saw up to Rh6+, and without analysing what happened next, I was sure there was mate somewhere. I suppose this is why I lose alot of games :). |

| |
| BluE DicE: What a fantastic game! There's no way for black to save his king and queen. This is one of my favourites. |

Apr-20-04 Morphy vs Anderssen, 1858
| |
| BluE DicE: This puzzle was also relatively easy The question is, is black worse of with two rooks vs a knight and a queen? |
