Pictured above is a Bishop-Queen-2 pawns combination checkmate I used to capture the White King in winning a correspondence chess game this morning. As you can see, my Bishop on the b6 square delivers the mating move. He is protected by my Queen, who also covers 2 of the King's possible flight squares. My pawns on b7 and c6 cover the other possible flight squares.

Despite being distracted by the toothache from Hell, I won this Correspondence Chess game a few minutes ago with a Bishop-Queen Checkmate on my 16th move.

I won this Correspondence Chess game yesterday with the White army when my opponent playing Black resigned on his 52nd move. The position of pieces at game's end is shown above. As you can plainly see, he was right to do so. It was going to be a simple matter for me to advance one of my pawns to its last rank and promote it to a 2nd White Queen. And with two Queens I could quickly squeeze his King into a checkmate against an edge of the board.

The above notice popped up in my in-box this morning. So, it appears my September will be a little chess-heavier than I'd planned. I'm already expecting more games later that month when a 13-player tournament in which I'm registered in another of my chess clubs starts. The games of this Round 2 starting next week should be well under way by then.

It took 3 weeks for me to checkmate the White King in this Correspondence Chess Game with a Rook-Rook combination against the edge of the board. The game started on 15 July and ended late last night.
