题目: More J power examples

By way of illustrating the surprising power of a lone Janus piece to administer mate with a little help from his enemies, I humbly present 3 recent wins. I choose to show them not for any great or deep play on my part, but as a lesson to new players of something that we all need to be careful about.

Game #89328 might be called a semi-smothered mate.

In Game #92008, White should have played 16. Ke2. But chose the normal action of capturing the checking knight, & overlooked my next move.

Here, in Game #83178, the final position is similar to the preceding example.

Lest you think I only wish to show off my good games & hide my bad ones (of which there are many!), I offer this one: Game #82944. Argh! Now that hurts...
