A very short story with a twist and where I got the idea
from including the RHP game that I used for the story.

(The games I discarded for the above story appear in the Hall of Doom.)

A look at a free chess book I was given in the early 70's
with two good games showing the very first mating pattern.

A picture of two elephants playing chess.

Hello Greenpawn,

a very good read once more. Trciking the devil can't be that easy 😉

btw did you hide an error to see if people still read and understand?

under ‘Four Blunders and a Checkmate’

In the first comment it seems you wanted to write "Qd3+ and Qxf1+" instead of "Qd4+ and Qxg1" or did I get it completely wrong?

Hi Ponderable,

Obviously the devil sneaked back onto the blog did that typo.
I fixed it (thanks).

Forgot top mention in the intro, there is also a link to Paul Motwani's blog
which he has just started. Keep an eye on it. It will contain some excellent stuff.
