While it may be true that few moves are valued more than the queen sacrifice, a checkmate executed with a pawn push may be just as rare and for that reason equally as prized. I’m not sure if it’s a product of the king’s and latvian gambit games that we’ve been playing recently, or simply the evidence of my sparkling style (although jeff certainly has a “glittering” style all his own….hence the glitter all over his clothing and person), but I have scored three such mates against him this week! Here is a photo from today’s refulgent play.

Feast your eyes on this beauty of a mate.
