May-30-06  sharkbenjamin: This is not logical.
May-30-06  jackmandoo: I need this explained to me, looks like black has plenty of play.
May-30-06  aw1988: I assume you mean White. Yes, this is puzzling.
May-30-06  jackmandoo: Yes im sorry you know what I mean. Anyway somebody help me this is making me mad.
Jun-01-06  EmperorAtahualpa: Probably the PGN is incomplete.
Jun-01-06  Jilted Rook: Maybe the game was decided on a Filippov a coin?
Jun-01-06  technical draw: <Jilted Rook> Welcome to the site. You're going to have a lot of pun here!
Jun-01-06  AniamL: <Jilted Rook> Think of a worse pun, and I'll obtain a Warren for your arrest. And there's no reason to start a Warren these forums.
Jun-01-06  Jilted Rook: Sorry - I couldn't help myself - just a Filippov the tongue.
Jun-02-06  AniamL: Ah, you've outpunned me, to my Chigorin.

(see opening)

Jun-02-06  technical draw: You're going to Ruy the day you out-punned me!.
Jun-02-06  AniamL: This conversation is Closed!
Jun-02-06  technical draw: I'm glad Euwe resigned, that's Fine with me.
Jun-02-06  AniamL: I haven't resigned, and...

It Mite Orr Dur a Tun of Evert to Carey the Pace, Butt I Halve a Good Ree Son!

(all last names :)

Jun-02-06  technical draw: <Aniami> While you were busy making up that last pun I passed you on the Chessbookie game ladder!. Always beware of the passed pun.
Jun-03-06  AniamL: I'd much rather have a passed pun than a bad knight.
Jun-04-06  technical draw: The pgn download I have from the official site shows this game ended like it is posted here. Maybe white saw black's elo at move 19 and said, "oh, 2500!, I thought it was 2200. I'll just go and resign now and save us some time."....

  FSR: After 19.b4 Nb7, Black would have both his knights fianchettoed, and the rest would be a matter of technique. Accordingly, White decided to pack it in.
