UsuallySleepy Wins Nicely

UsuallySleepy is playing for Bohrium this league. In this game he takes advantage of his opponents errors to win a short game.

A Win From TwoEqualsOne

TwoEqualsOne joins Selenium for T51. Here's a nice game of his from T46.

Tamarin Wins

Tamarin joins Tellurium for T51. Here's a real good game of his from T49.

A Queen Sac

A game from the recently played European Cup. You rarely see a Queen sacrifice in a game between two 2700 players.

Solution

aww-rats has the answer perfect. White plays e8=Black King. Black to move has only one legal move Kd8. White then plays Qd7 which mates BOTH kings.

Fun Chess

How can White promote the e pawn and announce checkmate on his next move.
Hint: The pawn can be promoted to any chess piece. I mean any chess piece.

Technetium Champions Of The U2000 Section

Technetium Rd 10. Championship round. Universe comes through one last time to lead the team to the championship. This is one of the best games of the season. It's a shame no-one nominated this for Game of the Week. I was the judge and instead had to rule on some other insipid crap.
A great achievement for Technetium. Hopefully in T51 some other "element" teams will claim a championship also.

FlyingTiger Does It Again

Technetium Rd 10. The second game to be played. FlyingTiger for the second round in a row salvaged a draw from a lost position. An important half point.

Championship Round

Technetium Rd 10. First game of the final round. Boromir's opponent threw away a piece for nothing.
