Recognize the position? It’s the first diagram from Alexander Kotov’s classic book “Think Like a Grandmaster”. Find out what he missed.

Never give up! Here is a position that occurred in one of our club matches this season. It is White to play and seal his move. Find out how Black survived this.

Here is a nice finish by Angus James. For those who find the idea of producing an "Immortal Game" a bit daunting please consider sending parts of games or ends of games that you think would be entertaining or instructive to the webmaster.

How did this happen to White after only 14 moves?
