But probably not special enough to post to four newsgroups, of which
it's on-topic in one, plus one that doesn't exist. (On-topic in
rgc.analysis only; r.g.c doesn't exist any more.)

If you want to maximize the number of people who read your post, don't
cross-post to more than three groups and then only if it's really
appropriate to all of them. It's never appropriate to post to
something.specific and something.misc: if it's specific, it is, by
definition, not miscellaneous.

Ummm ... You could have saved yourself a move as
21. ... Qe1 is also mate. But you basically saw the combination
and won so congrats!
