Look for Edward Lasker vs Captain Smith. A Queen sacrifice followed by 8 successful checks and mate.

First game mentioned has not yet finished. Both sides have made a Queen for piece sacrifice.
The game has a rook sacrifice for a positional advanatage, so that I can get into a position for a Queen for piece sacrifice, but alas I missed that the opponent by doing a Knight sacrifice, followed later by a Queen for piece sacrifice could avoid the lengthy (over 8 moves) mate.

Is it quite common, just unusual or very rare for both sides to have two Queens on the board at one time?
In club chess?

I've played thousands of games, and probably this situation has occurred to me 2 or 3 times at the most! I don't suppose four Queens remained on the board for more than a couple of moves? Hard to find a safe place for the King with lots of Queens around. Must be a small problem with the new notation as well.  In the current game we are both on our second set of Queens, but this will be the third Queens for each of us in a few more moves. |

Are you saying there is a problem with the move notation in a game with multiple queens? Please tell me the game number if so.

No. I was thinking about the difficulties I have in writng down notoation when I am playing a game on a Board. The chess notation is fine. When going through a hand written game, it is moments of stress that the notation gets written down wrongly, or in a mixture of both the old and new styles. |

I had a look at this. Usually, I find I only get away with scarifices playing a weaker player, but occasionally, a better player can get lured into a false sense of security. I get away with an occasional sacrifice because I am quite capable of making obvious blunders. Then there is the opposite of a sacrifice, when taking the offered piece is actually the best move for the opposition! www.glaucus.org.uk/DoubleBluff.jpg White must take the Knight offerred! |

Interesting game Beck. 22 Knight sacrifice. It may have been obvious at the time? but it was a killer. Also Knight for two pawns. And a Bishop that was got back soon after. And a pawn sacrifice to speed up the end.
It is probably helpful in these games to pose them like a puzzle. That is what we do in the OTB games. Say, on the rare occasion, I find the killer move that swings the game, I see how long it takes others to spot it.
It requires appraisal of a board. Helps for those to play simultaneous games to appraise quickly. Not a strong point for me any longer as I get older.
