Onderwerp: juangrande's mate :-)

OK, since we've started showcasing games (and mating patterns), here's my submission. The game is also accessible via my profile. (I would provide the link, but since Ed's link to Terry's game didn't work for me, my link probably wouldn't work, either.) I also won't claim that the game is "high-caliber", but the mating combination at the end is an interesting Knight-Chancellor mate.

I would like to play this out, but I don't have a gothic set. It would be nice if we could play it out on the computer, though. If that is what was being said earlier, I'm sorry for the repetition.

Also, did you get my question about Professor McFarland at the Univ. of Wisconsin/Whitewater? I have a neighbor who teaches math at UCLA, and he says that a colleague of his is a graduate of UW, and that they are world-renowned for their excellent math teacher training program. I told him about McFarland's use of chess in his Finite Mathematics course, and he was impressed.

The professor may be interested in the math on this discussion board.

Hi, Felix! Yes, I got your question about Professor McFarland; unfortunately, I am not acquainted with him (even though the web page I referred you to regarding the opposition was part of his Finite Mathematics chess course - what a cool coincidence!) By the way, if you go to my profile and then to my list of finished games, you can play through the game via BrainKing's interface.
