Show me your checkmates where the last move was a pawn move. It will please me.

P.S. promotions don't count.

Now what have we learned, children? That's right, don't put your king on g5 when there's a chain of angry looking pawns and a rook or two in the area.

Keep them coming!

What better way to end your first tournament game than with a pawn mate?

How do I gain access to this treasure trove of delights? I know where the games explorer is, but it seems there's more depth in there than I ever realised...

It's my own private DB gathered over the two years I've been here.

You pool a team together and they go through the players cutting and pasting
their games. They send them to me and I run a wee program to delete the doublers.
