Joined 20 Jul '11 Moves 6090 Doesn't really do Catnap justice, on 'our end' of the ratings scale, he might not be the highest ranked but he can be a sly and crafty opponent.

catnap642 WON the game against a much higher rated opponent.
To me that is an upset and I bet the higher rated player is kicking himself for falling for the simple trap.

Sharpen up and get with the program.
This does indeed look like the first checkmate but keep looking.

Can you please keep an eye on sections 1-9 looking for any finished games.
Look for a cute finish or a howling blunder.
Need another 8 volunteers. I'll do 50-59.
