I do. What do you      Oct-11-21 So vs Sasikiran, 2015    Knightf7mate: Chrisowen skeedily BAP! Your word play is pure Crop Dusters of Cow Dung and Spotted Cow Brewery FAF! The mammoth sac baddy nag busted you in the jawp! He huffled and puffled till clock time was NILL, then ran off for brewskis UNTILL he was ILL. Miss Towen skeedily BAP! Now the ...      Oct-04-21 Mamedyarov vs A Adly, 2008    Knightf7mate: <Whitehat> I played through your sequence. There is no saving the piece.

It’s a very instructive example of the ...      Jul-24-21 A Poluljahov vs D Lopushnoy, 2000    Knightf7mate: Et tu e6?      Jan-19-21 Mecking vs S Mareco, 2011    Knightf7mate: There is a simple mate if 31...QxR. 32 QxN and there is no way to block mate by Qh6 or Qh7.

Thanks those ads are worse than annoying      Oct-28-20 N Gaprindashvili vs Pomar Salamanca, 1973    Knightf7mate: Another one of these White to play but black wins games..... it was so strange to see the black mate threat Qa1 and wonder move by move how does white escape - And he doesn’t! I thought I misread who plays first. From now on I’m going to check to make sure the player who ...      Sep-26-20 Kasparov vs Caruana, 2020    Knightf7mate: I didn’t realize it was Fischer Random until after White Castled.
