24.Rf2 Re1+ 25.Kg2 Rh2+ 26.Kxh2 Qh8+ 27.Kg2 Qh1# Some jaw dropping acrobatics from her majesty!
I can't avoid comparing those romantic games to today's high level games <cough>world championship<cough>. Looks like they have had fun back then... |

|
NewLine: It is a match between Carlsen and some engine's lines. The lowest point of the game, humans-wise. Whenever the game goes out of preparation, Anand's losing his temper. |
