minutes gas mark 5 and voilà! instant pancakes! Smear with creamy butter and
enjoy. I love pancakes. Anyhow, here is another rather amazing episode of the
trapper being trapped, white finds an awesome move, and then an even handsomer
move.

what did white play?

Don't quite see this one - surely 1. Rg1 is the only move to avoid immediate mate (except the interstitial knight check which doesn't seem to accomplish anything) - but then Black has very little.
One try for Black is I suppose 1... Ng3+, forcing 2. hxg3 on which Black might try 2. ...Qxg3 threatening 3...Qh4++ - but White has the simple (dramatic?) 3. Qh6 defending h2 and will end up a clear piece up, say after 3... Be4 4. Qh2 Qxh2+ 5. Kxh2 Bxc2
Black would do better to avoid this variation with 1... Rde8 and he is worse but surviving at least for a while.

I'm in a fairly unique position, I should think.
A few months ago I used Batch Analyzer & 4 x AMD Phenom 2.30GHz 4GB RAM Houdini 1.03a x64 4_CPU Hash:512 Time:30s Depth:Max 20ply to look at Skeeter's 20 then most recent games vs 2000+ rateds which all have a minimum of 20 non-database moves.
I agree with Skeeter in that people shouldn't make unfounded claims of foul-play with scant or no evidence, sub or not.

Robbie- enjoyed both games you posted- couldnt help noticing you are still looking at Sicilian games though, where are the Colle brilliant tactical games?
games that I posted originally, the games of Master Colle himself which were
masterpieces of the tactical art. Indeed the game in which Colle himself sacrificed two
knights and the exchange? How more brilliant can you get my friend? If i find a
queen sacrifice will it allay your fears? Perhaps a double bishop sacrifice would
smooth your way to accepting the way of water? Consider this brilliancy!
