I'm missing the checkmate on your second win - the one where your rook has the king in check and the pawn restricts the king's diagnal movement. What's preventing the king from moving one step forward. I'm not seeing a support piece for that manuever. I've forgotten the rules for en-passant, but I thought that the rule only applied to pawn verses pawn and was on the fifth row and not the sixth.

If you look closely, the black king is obstructed from moving one step forward by his own pawn.

Cheers!

D'oh. I've made that mistake a few times playing Win 7's chess game. I see it now. Where's the phone number for my optometrist?

Where's the phone number for my optometrist? I missed it too knightgames. The pawn blends in real well in the screenshot and can be easily missed.
