Smothered Mate

This post is intended as a demonstration of the Chess Game Viewer that we have configured in the previous posts. I have used some different styles to show that you can change the lay-out and the colour of the fonts.








3. ... Bc5

1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 Nc6 3.Bc4 Bc5

The Giuoco Piano Variation of the Italian Opening. This often results in rather boring games, but this game has an interesting ending.

4.c3 d6

( 4...Nf6 5.d4 exd4 6.cxd4 Bb4+ is played more frequently)

5.O-O ( Just like 5.d4 exd4 6.cxd4 Bb4+ )

5...Nf6 6.d4 exd4 7.cxd4 Bb6 8.h3 Nxe4 9.Re1 d5 10.Bxd5 Qxd5 11.Nc3 Qd8 +/- 12.Rxe4+ Ne7 13.Qe2 Be6 ( 13...Bf5! ) 14.Bg5 Qd6?! +- 15.Bxe7!! and now Black is in trouble!

15...Kxe7 16.d5 Rhd8 17.Ng5 c6 18.Nxe6 fxe6 19.Rxe6+ Qxe6 20.Qxe6+ Kf8 21.d6 Re8 22.Qf5+ Kg8 23.Ne4 Rf8 24.Qe6+ Kh8 25.Ng5 Bxf2+ ( 25...Rxf2 would have been better, but not enough to share the point ) 26.Kh2 Rae8?

and now it's a Mate in four. 27.Nf7+! Kg8 28.Nh6+ Kh8 29.Qg8+ Rxg8 30.Nf7# 1-0
Smothered mate!

  • Couldn't followed you this time :) I hope there will be a future post about how to embed the codes that we created with palview into our blogs.

    Thanks for these stuff again.

  • You can embed comments between the moves by placing them between curly brackets. These comments may contain HTML-code, which enables you to add paragraphs or to change the lay-out.

  • Aha :) Made it this time I guess. http://fazilanil.blogspot.com/

    I must admit it looks very useful and also user friendly. Just one more question what if our analysis are a long one. Is there a way to make it look like http://www.satrancokulu.com/pgnjs/analizli/capablanca-bogoljubow.htm

    Thanks a lot!

  • Personally I don't like frames within a post and the current code doesn't offer a possibility to scroll the moves while showing the board at the same position.
    My suggestion is to split it up and use two chess boards. The second game can start at for example move 17 and the reader won't even notice the split-up. I'll show this as an example in one of my next posts.
