Nov-05-23 | | Tiresias: What a brilliant attack by the super talent Eline Roebers! |

 | | FSR: An incandescent brilliancy! Come On Eline! Or get a better pun, but make it GOTD! Just glorious! I checked it with Stockfish 16, which confirms that Roebers played extremely well. |

 | | perfidious: <FSR>, it was a surprise to me that White's sixth move, which looked potty, has been played so often, not to mention that it has scored quite well. Opening Explorer My proposal for GOTD is: Roebery in Broad Daylight. |
|

 | | FSR: <perfidious> Agree about White's sixth, which must be a computer idea. And your pun is certainly better than mine. |

 | | perfidious: <FSR>, I still have several submissions from 2014 awaiting the light of day; fortunately, I can be relentlessly patient at times. |
|
Nov-07-23 | | goodevans: The pun really should have a comma after 'Come on' else it's meaning is a bit dubious. Are we being asked to do something to Eline which we might not be too proud of later? For the record, I submitted almost the same pun in anguish at her 'win that turned to a loss' in T Beerdsen vs E Roebers, 2023. It differed only in the punctuation. |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: A wealth of good puns for this game; "Roebery in Broad Daylight" would have also worked. It looks more than a little implausible that 6.a3 should prove such an effective attacking move, but the onus lies with Black to come up with something consistently effective. |

 | | FSR: Heh, <OCF> likes my pun a lot better than I did. Most unusual. I would have gone with <perfidious>'s <Roebery in Broad Daylight>, but I'll take it. As for <goodevans>' remark, I have seen a Halloween costume on that theme. Thanks to Google, you can too. I'll leave it there. I too would, all things being equal, prefer a comma, but the song doesn't have one, so I didn't use one either. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Come_... But the game's what's important. It's glorious. Roebers had an off tournament. I hope this magnificent brilliancy made up for it to some extent. |

 | | MissScarlett: <Roebery with Violence> would have been my choice, but E Roebers vs L'Ami, 2023 is too fresh in the memory. |
|
Nov-07-23 | | goodevans: 28.Nf5 was an exquisite but unnecessary Q-sac. Was the intention to torture her opponent? And did Elina think, even for a moment, that 28...Nd3+ would turn certain defeat into a win? |

 | | perfidious: Rowland has led a life featuring much fluctuation, going from world fame to being on the dole, then back to a degree of renown. |
|
Nov-07-23
 | | OhioChessFan: The fact a game existed between 2 Elines was worth an extra point for the pun. |
|
