IGM scalp

IGM in 14 moves

Today's Heinzk Blog offers you a 2550+ FIDE rated Internet Grand Master from Iran biting the clicking dust.

Partyhardy

The moves which led him to resignation are nothing much to be proud of though - I've played about the same opening trick vs. a p1200 before.
If I had advertised this one as "Heinzk vs. 1600"... you could've believed it too.

Still, a GM scalp of any sort is more than enough reason to celebrate in excess.



I don't have anything else today, so I'll just give you guys another chess problem.
No mate in three because apparently those are too difficult for you wimps.

Mate in four

Hint: you'll need to consider all four possible promotions on a1.
