Shokwave: Easy 'n quick. Win a pawn, create two connected passers, collect the win. |

Shokwave: That pic is scary; he does look like a double fopr Wierd Al Yankovic. |

Aug-05-05 P Openshaw vs P Hummel, 1999 
|
Shokwave: Nice game by Openshaw. Nd8 is one of those cool moves you don't see because the opponent resigns before it gets played. |

Aug-05-05 V Zurakhov vs A Zamikhovsky, 1959 
|
Shokwave: I'm happy....I got it, saw the winning lines in both main lines, and got it quite fast to boot. I don't think this one was as easy as some folks claim, though; witness the number of people who tried Rxg7+. I looked at that, Bxg7, f6 and e7 before trying Rh6+, but it took just a few |

Shokwave: The position he is examining in the pic is indeed very bizarre...wonder what the game could have been? |

Aug-04-05 Nimzowitsch vs Salwe, 1911 
|
Shokwave: Gotta love the way he swaps pieces in and out of that e5 outpost. My copy of "My System" (21st Century Ed., English)is missing the 38th moves by both players presented here as well. No big. |

Aug-04-05 C von Holstein-Rathlau vs H Kongsted, 2001 
|
Shokwave: A neat way to start the day. I never considered Kh1, trapping my king in even more...what a great resource! Like practically everyone else, I thought Rxg2+ led to mate in all possible paths. Nice one! |

|
Shokwave: Monday easy, even. |

Aug-01-05 Reshevsky vs Larsen, 1971 
|
Shokwave: Like probably everyone else, I looked at Nh6+ first...tried for ten seconds or so to make it work, couldn't...and then saw Ng5. |
