The Republican candidate announced that he would miss the debate scheduled 
for later tonight, then he decided to participate. Not in a debate, apparently, 
but in a chess match, as WGM (and author, and webmaster) Jennifer Shahade tells 
us. She has published the game with full commentary by the candidates. It ends 
in a nice checkmate by a pawn on e5. <strong>
