  chessgames.com: <two miniatures by Istvan Abonyi in the 1915 newspaper, yet no date is given.> You have to list some year, perhaps 1915 would be appropriate? Then in a comment right after the first move, say "The year is approximate."

  chessgames.com: <Would you care to make an explicit statement about clues offered by members?> We think that would be a good idea; give us some time to figure out our policy.
Dec-24-13  Karpova: <chessgames.com>

I followed your suggestion and submitted the games. Merry Christmas!

Dec-24-13  Abdel Irada: عيد الميلاد مبارك

Dec-24-13  davide2013: I don't know what happened to one of the games in my Guess the Move queue; [bad chessgames.com link] The message is: "Error: Invalid Game ID.
Sorry, the game requested (1074772) is not in our database. It may have been deleted due to redundancy or inaccuracy." But I believe it was accurate (the score of the moves) just the name of the player was wrong. The wrong name was Christine Flear, but that game was played by Glenn Flear.
Dec-24-13  Shams: Thanks for a great present hunt!

Obviously after 30 minutes of English to Unicode for Merry Christmas, it is not going to work (agter 5 g;asses of eggggnogs an d that danh Pin ot Noir..)

Dec-24-13  Thanh Phan: Merry Christmas!

Thankyou for the clue games, they were fun to try solve :)

Dec-24-13  Abdel Irada: "God rest you merry, Innocents;
Let nothing you dismay.
Let nothing wound an eager heart
Upon this Christmas day.

Yours be the genial holly wreaths,
The stockings and the tree.
An aged world to you bequeaths
Its own forgotten glee.

Soon, soon enough come crueler gifts:
The anger and the tears.
Between you now there sparsely drifts
A handful yet of years.

Oh, dimly, dimly glows the star
Through the electric throng.
The bidding in temple and bazaar
Drowns out the silver song.

The ancient altars smoke afresh;
The ancient idols stir.
Faint in the reek of burning flesh
Sink frankincense and myrrh.

Gaspar, Balthazar, Melchior:
Where are your offerings now?
What greetings to the Prince of War,
His darkly branded brow?

Two ultimate laws alone we know:
The ledger and the sword;
So far away, so long ago,
We lost the infant Lord.

Only the children clasp his hand;
His voice speaks low to them,
And still for them the shining band
Wings over Bethlehem.

God rest you merry, Innocents,
While innocence endures.
A sweeter Christmas than we to ours
May you bequeath to yours!"

—Ogden Nash: "A Carol for Children"

---

A merry Christmas to all who celebrate it, and a happy Yuletide to all.

...and now that's been fixed, but the position given is still that after White's 25th move, with Black to play.
