OCTOBER 2019 CLINIC: BEST GAMES

The latest Tiger Chess clinic is now online and devoted to best games. What defines a 'good game' is largely subjective, and as always a variety of submissions was sent in. The following position was taken from the one that I liked most, with White about to play a crushing move:

M. G. vs. N. N. White to play.

White to play uncorked the devastating 23.Nxe6+. Black saw that when he takes the knight he is mated by 24.Qg6+ followed by Qh7 mate, and if he doesn't take the knight he loses his queen. For this reason Black resigned, and nobody could really blame him.
