Tactic guessing game

Avatar of bsrti

Good day, ladies and gentlemen. 

I collected 50 tactics, strategic concepts, tactical motifs, or strategic formations in chess. I invite you to play a rather simple game: you try to guess one of the motifs below, provide its number in the list, what the motif is all about, and a game showing it. The first person to guess a certain motif will receive 5+ cheers (depends on the difficulty of the tactic - the more rare motif is, the more trophies). You are allowed to only make 2 submissions per 24 hours. Further guesses do not count for more trophies. Good luck! Here is a list of all motifs (underscores mean that the motif is not guessed):

 

1. A_______ ____
2. Alekhine's gun (guessed by Sammy_Thechessboy)

For example, getting a motif that occurs in almost every game is 5 trophies, but guessing a motif that only occurred in 2200+ game for the whole history once would get you 300+ trophies.

Alekhines gun:

Number in list: WRONG. "Alekhines gun" does not fit into: A_______ ____

Pattern name: CLOSE. You got the name almost correct!

Example game. Close. The game means a legal chess position - for example, adding two kings would make the example game correct.

You got this motif nearly right!

Antasma Mate:

Number in list: WRONG. "Antasma mate" does not fit into:  A_______'_ ___

Pattern name: WRONG. There is no such motif with this name in this list.

Example game: CORRECT, demonstrates mate pattern well.

Zwischenzug 

#50

A Zwischenzug is an in-between move. Instead of black taking the pawn with his bishop right away, he first played Qh4 to threaten checkmate, THEN take the bishop.

Anastasia's Mate

#2

Anastasia's mate is a checkmate with a knight and rook, like another type of mate I cannot say.
