Good one,

Not as obvious as it first looked. Or not to me anyway. Thanks.

Very nice!

Very good that you published this one, kingdawar. It builds on a recent theme and illustrates it simply and beautifully.

Lovely finish. I'm pretty sure White was Hermann Helms, and that this was a "rapid transit" game played at a limit of ten seconds a move.

Dexterous finnish!

Thanks for sharing some beautiful essence of chess; simple-looking situation where dexterous, surprising victory and enthusiastic mistake always have potential on the same moment.
