Jun-28-08 | | Jedithious: Interesting and quite action-packed game, though a bit disappointing that it ended in a draw. My favorite move of this all out battle was 16. N-a4. |
|
Jun-28-08 | | darook: Indeed. Nunn initiated 'action' on the queen's side and got a positional edge at some point. Yet it seems it wasn't enough for a win. |

Jun-28-08 | | Extremophile: I don't understand this game has been chosen as the game of the day; there is nothing special about it! |
|
Jun-28-08 | | itsankush: Exactly, whats so special for it to be GOD. |
|
Jun-28-08 | | Extremophile: Of course! But one must be able to distinguish between "nothing special" and "so special" |

Jun-28-08 | | RandomVisitor: 29.Rxc5 Nxa8 30.bxc4 is winning for white.
30.Qf4 was better. |

Jun-28-08 | | whiteshark: <25.d6> is worthy of mention.

Jun-28-08 | | JohnBoy: I like <whiteshark>'s 25.d6, but not for the reason he mentions. The threats are to the e pawn as well as the fork at c7. The a8 rook can't move cuz the a pawn hangw w/ attack on the black queen. rather awkward, no? |
|
Jun-28-08 | | Confuse: Its like u guys are saying this game isnt special just because it ended in a draw. Well, I'm not claiming to be an expert on how they choose the game of the day, so who knows? Maybe its just to use the pun "Progress there is nunn" for a drawn game. clever imo. |

Jun-28-08 | | jokerman: could someone please explain the idea bihind 16.Na4? please, to me it seems a weak move, becease i can't understand nor see the idea. i must say i'm impressed by the suggestion of 25. d6 verry nice. overall the game seems a bit to passive for me. |

Jun-28-08 | | RandomVisitor: After 15...Bd7 perhaps 16.g4 is better.

Jun-28-08 | | PinnedPiece: I'm sure it would never cross anyone's mind that CG.com selected this game solely in order to make a pun...[;) |
|
Jun-28-08 | | Jedithious: Instead of 16. N-a4 I would suggest p-a6 or p-f4. |
