 | | sevenseaman: Tal's chess never stops amazing me. It is so much effort just following how his mind works. Here it looks as though an ace footballer is kicking ball with a kid; simply toying as though sheer delight were the sole objective. |

| | sevenseaman: <thegoodanarchist> and others. Good play of words. I was trying to restrain myself but <abstemious> came to mind. I dunno if <abstemiously > is an approved adjective/adverb. At college this was a common story in the English literature circles. Some wag went up to Thomas Hardy and said English was a funny language. Sugar was the only word in the language written 'sugar' but pronounced 'shugar'. Wondered back Hardy, "The only word? Are you sure?" |

| Jun-18-12 | | solskytz: Really amazing pun!! Especially as I just played this piece in concert three short days ago. Coincidences? Here's a performance of it recorded in 2011 (to make the pun more real to some of you guys out there...) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShgP...
this link is for the first part - links will appear on the right for the continuation (a relic of the times when I could only upload up to 15 mins worth of music to YouTube at one go) |

 | | superstoned: The position after 18...Nxc2 looks like one of the harder tasks from Ct-Art. |
|
| Jun-18-12 | | bvwp: Five vowels in order. Also abstemious. |

 | | Phony Benoni: <Tridel: I didn't Know that you can rename a game that has a pun. This one used to be called "Simultaneity Paradox" if I recall correctly because they both offered their queen.> Not to mention that the pun has also been used before: Capablanca vs J Baca Arus, 1912 |

| | Phony Benoni: And if you're really into weird words, try http://jeff560.tripod.com/words.html. Section 6 covers words with five/six vowels in order, among other things. I might point out that the word <supercAlifragilisticExpIalidOcioUs> has all five vowels in order, since nobody specified there couldn't be another vowel or two interspersed. But that would be facetious. |

Miller's position did come to look like a Hut on Fowl's Legs. |

 | | Marmot PFL: Not bad for a simul, but nothing special as a Tal game. The queen sac wasn't that hard to see and was only queen for rook. |
|
| Jun-18-12 | | WhiteRook48: For a regular game, absolute genius. For a Tal game, completely normal. |
|
| Jun-18-12 | | Mladja: Beautiful game.Mikhail Tal achieved The highest level of this game. |
|
| Jun-18-12 | | ajile: I actually played this music back when I was a string bass player in college. Russian piece by Mussorgsky. |
