Jun-09-23 N Abdusattorov vs Nakamura, 2023
| |
| Jamboree: Nice open-board zugzwang in the final position, leading to Nakamura's resignation. After 37. Re5 Kf7 38. Rae1 black literally has no moves left. Every legal move available to black immediately loses material. Amazing! Nakamura also must have been shocked by 34. Nxc4!! Black can't ... |

| |
| Jamboree: 5. Qg5#?? is a terrible blunder, on aesthetic grounds, missing the incredible, beautiful forced mate 5...Qh4+!! 6. Kxh4 Be7+ 7. Kh5 Nf6+ 8. Kh4 Ne4+ 9. Kh5 g6+ 10. Kh6 Bg5+ 11. Kg7 Rg8+!! 12. Kxg8 Nf6+ 13. Kg7 Nbd7 14. d4 Nh5+ 15. Kxh7 Ndf6+ 16. Kh8 Bf5! 17. Bxg5 O-O-O#!!! Black ... |

| Jamboree: <LRLeighton + tamar>
When Zhansaya Abdumalik withdrew, Bibisara Assaubayeva made a snide remark to her on social media along the lines of "maybe you should just stay home and cook borscht for your future husband" rather than play chess, which apparently is a big insult to any |

Mar-10-23 A Korobov vs S Kourkoulos-Arditis, 2023
| |
| Jamboree: Hot Ko-Ko.
An exciting Board 1 game that determined the first-place tournament leader. And both players' names start with "Ko"! Black sacs a piece for three pawns and what looks like an attack, but white quickly neutralizes it with expert defense. Black then cleverly wins back an ... |

Feb-19-23 Ganguly vs A Adly, 2012
| |
| Jamboree: The pun, I presume, is a reference to the 1990 British film "Truly, Madly, Deeply" -- clever, but obscure. |

Dec-05-22 L Asztalos vs Breyer, 1913
| |
| Jamboree: Considering that black attacks on one wing of the board, a better name for this game would have been "Coming in on a Wing and a Breyer." |

Nov-16-22 So vs Le Quang Liem, 2022
| |
| Jamboree: There was a little Wes,
A prodigy at chess,
A brilliant mind behind his placid forehead.
When he was good,
He was very, very good,
But when he was bad, he was horrid. |

Oct-30-22 W Mueller vs K Junge, 1942
| |
| Jamboree: <fredthebear:
Do you suppose Klause Junge saw the underpromotion mate and cooperated to allow it?> Considering that this game was played in Germany in 1942, it's pretty certain he did not-see it. |

| Jamboree: <Oct-22-22 al wazir
...I think we can rule out the most blatant forms of communication, e.g., an accomplice using semaphore to signal moves or making comments in an obscure foreign language. The information would have to be transmitted in a form undetectable by others nearby.
