Bulldog Challenge Game (Martin0 - evert823)

great smothered mate

Hi hitthepin, looking forward to it. But who will moderate?

I can moderate, but this game probably won't start till about 2 weeks from now. I'm staggering game starts to keep everything manageable.

I've decided to moderate this one.

Thanks evert823, that will help the tournament move ahead faster!

I'm a little late with the medal ceremony for this stunning game. But medals are being presented now. Congratulations to @Martin0 for an amazing win, to become the bulldog three-time defending World Champion! An amazing game ending with 5.Wd6#!

It seems nobody can win against Martin0, but steadfast bulldog player @evert823 made a valiant effort! An amazing game! Medals go to both players:

Thanks @vickalan

Miniatures happens sometimes. I also had a 12 move smothered mate against evert when we played with crippled amazons some time ago. I still think evert is a fairly strong player. Let's hope we can play a longer more epic game next time we play

Martin0 is the best handler of the witch. He also did this to gallifreyanking too. 

Because this game was placed in a list, I knew what move evert had to play to cause a helpmate!

An ironic part of this game is that in a previous game between me and evert, I mated him in 12 moves. After that game you think that the next game will at least be a better fight... Position in that game:

How do you play like this?
