Sep-29-09 | | whiteshark: Hou completes a Short sale. |
|
Sep-29-09 | | Chessmensch: We can't let this go without referring to the Nair commercials that used short shorts. Here's one of several: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou9A... |

Sep-29-09 | | Anthony1: the main thing I learned is its a bad idea to be a greedy pig in the Ruy with 4...Nxe4
By move 9 all the lines are open for White with development lead and a safe king position.
Meanwhile Black is constricted, doubled pawns and King in the center. That's a poisoned pawn for sure. |
|
Sep-29-09 | | RandomVisitor: 8...Nb7 seems to be the cause of many of Black's problems. 8...Nf5 might be better. |

Sep-29-09 | | DrCurmudgeon: <mistreaver: yeah Nigel loses to 13 year old girl.> Yeah, if it had been a 13 year old boy he wouldn't have been upset. But a girl? Why, he should give up chess! P.S. I'm being sarcastic. But don't mind me. I'm old, I'm tired, and my feet hurt. |

Sep-29-09 | | dumbgai: Short picked a strange opening. |
|
Sep-29-09 | | WhiteRook48: 4...Nxe4 is actually a line played thousands of times, many with wins for black |
|
Sep-29-09 | | zdigyigy: <whiterook48> Korchnoi, in fact, plays open Lopez's as black and does just fine. |

 | | eternaloptimist: very funny pun :D |
|
Sep-29-09 | | dumbgai: <WhiteRook48> By "strange opening" I meant Nb7. |
|
Sep-29-09 | | YouRang: Okay, Hou is responsible for this pun?
Well done. :-D |

|
Sep-30-09 | | gilbav: <Hou is responsible for this pun?> Exactly. I saw this pun (with an added "!") in the Pun Voting Booth. So, are puns from there used without attributing it to the submitter? |

 | | keypusher: <Anthony1: the main thing I learned is its a bad idea to be a greedy pig in the Ruy with 4...Nxe4> Ruy Lopez (C67) |

 | | tamar: She wore a raspberry barette
The kind you find in a second hand store |
|
Oct-16-09 | | weisyschwarz: She beat the pants off of him. |
|
Dec-15-10 | | Thesaint8x: Hou can I learn to play like this? Taking advantage of a misplaced knight?I am hoping someone plays like Black in this line and I can impress everyone.Not improbable,now that this opening is becoming as fashionable (for the moment?)as Sicilian. |

 | | Penguincw: What time of fork is it when the king and queen get forked by a pawn.Royal fork? |
|
Oct-15-11 | | tarikhk: whats the finish? |
|
Jul-26-12 | | Abdel Irada: Just for the record, the Chinese word romanized as "hou" is pronounced "hoe" like the gardening implement, not "who" like the pronoun. |
|
Aug-25-14 | | Garech: 23...Kf8 and...?
-Garech |
|
Aug-25-14 | | Nerwal: <23...Kf8 and...? > After 23... ♔f8 any sensible attacking idea wins : 24. ♕h3, 24. h4, 24. ♕e4, or even the preparatory 24. ♖e1. That's probably why Short resigned immediately. |
|
Oct-24-16 | | Dirkster: I just got the pun in the title - brilliant!!! |
|
Apr-29-17
 | | scutigera: I first saw this pun years ago and it's still my all-time favorite. |
|
Jan-10-22
 | | scutigera: And even now. Climate may change, politics may change, but Hou's Short shorts are still my fave. |
