Great wins from the TMCL match

I'm going to highlight some great wins by those who swept their opponent in the important TMCL match against Adelaide: https://www.chess.com/club/matches/1675699

First, check out our admin Jack with this beautiful checkmate after 69 moves

We all know Reznor is a great King of the Hill player. His opponent must have thought he was playing KOTH. Look at this checkmate near the hill (https://www.chess.com/game/daily/706496383):

Marcos_Galue had 3 brilliant moves in 2 games. Here (https://www.chess.com/game/daily/706496331), he brilliantly sac'ed his rook for a pawn.

My good friend @Alfred42000 made a beautiful game-winning discovery: g

JCHWarriorZero's rook sacrifice is the right way to get a queen:

Borondo1981 captured a bishop with checkmate!

Nice

Great job Chris ! 2nd board is wild

Thank you and good luck. Hopefully not an old Benoni kind of wild 😜

Thanks Chris, great games!

My game?

I will take a look my friend... So far the 'deal' was that you had to sweep. If I see greatness in your win though, I would showcase it here.

I included a highlight from AussieJohn56's win above. (He is on our team.)

Maohi_98's brilliancy is now included.

@ginip1's beautiful knight checkmate is showcased above.

Check out @Marcos_Galue sac'ing stuff like Tal in the latest addition.

Thank you so much Chris, I was lucky to find it.

I looked at it. He is supposed to play Ke8 instead of accepting the rook. But you are still winning.

The real point would have come if pedcasal hadn't taken the rook gift and had played 1... Ke8!? instead. But then I think after 2. Qxg6!! Qxg1+ 3. Qxg1 Kxf7. But once again my initial criteria of taking advantage of the two undeveloped rooks in the eigtth rank against an active queen and the possibility to take the e6 pawn, I mean 4. Qg5 Re8 5. Qf6+ Kg8 6. f5 or 6. h4 would have given me the upper hand.

That's correct!! friend. Amazig feedback through this forum. congratulations to all of you.

Now that I remember my thoughts during this game, I recall a variation beginning with 2. Rxg6 (threatening the killer 3.Rg8+) and after 2... Kxf7 3.Rf6+ and once again the queen (through the c2-h7 diagonal) and the rook chase the black King.

Alfred42000's great discovery is now included (above)

Thank you Chris !

I knew he would have fallen nito this trap.

JCHWarriorZero also got us a sweep and now we are 3 wins a draw away from winning the match. See his best move above to promote.

Borondo1981 dominated as you can see in the diagram (see initial comment). Another sweep!
