CHECKMATE in under 20 moves

Mate in 16 and a really cool final position.

🙂

That's a goodie. A Royal Check Mate (hitting King, Queen and Rook).

Black neglected development as well as his light squares and was punished along the f file in classic Blackmar Diemer fashion:

Game 10941084

11 moves.

Played this game over at chess.com . A nice knight sac and bishop mate. Time-3/0.

Here is a game I played against a team composed of Magnus Carlsen, Fabiano Caruana, Levon Aronian, and Hikaru Nakamura. I had 1 minute on my clock and they were allowed unlimited time. I gave them two-rook odds. They still insisted I play blindfolded, use only one arm, and have the black pieces just so they could have a fighting chance. I agreed.

White ...[text shortened]... ahead of Kenya's finest runners and I was a little tired. They were given a one hour head start.
