Sep-16-16		Pantagruel: White's mistake was 33. Qc6, which forced black to start moving his dormant rook. 9 of Black's next 10 moves were to get his rook out into play (via the other corner and through a maze of pawns) and get his King back into safety. It's amazing that Black won after such an elaborate development of one piece.

Sep-16-16		Ironmanth: I like this game; truth be told hard to understand for me most of the way. Lots of involved maneuvers; maybe need another cup of coffee so that I can go over it again, and again, and again...! Thanks!

Sep-16-16		posoo: And THERE he gose! Looks like da good fokes at chuaguma.com have finaly driven Morfudlian to SELF HARM. Da man will be missed a little. Too bad he cannot handle da occasional pun without getting ANGRY

Sep-16-16		moodini: <posoo> I suppose self-defenestration is a pretty severe form of self-harm. Let's hope he lives on the ground floor as grumpiness should not carry the death penalty. I think the game of the day title is a "good 'un".

Sep-16-16		posoo: But WHY do we have da word LUFT in da pon?

Sep-16-16		catlover: Please don't jump out of any windows, <morfishine>. <But WHY do we have da word LUFT in da pon?> Good question...maybe it refers to that king maneuver that black did (Kh7, Kg6 and then back to g8). On the other hand, I always thought that "luft" was when someone moved a pawn in front of his king to avoid a back-rank mate.

Sep-16-16		MissScarlett: 22...h5 seems to have put 21.Kb1 out of business, with 21.Bb4 coming to the fore.

Sep-16-16		MissScarlett: <<I play the Fred: <Oll We Need Is Luft> This is superior to the pun chosen, and superior to my submission, <No Blood for Oll>.> If this is GOTD for a third time, <Crown Jules> is my suggestion.

Sep-16-16		thegoodanarchist: Ouch. 46...Rf1+ is gonna leave a mark.

Sep-16-16		ajile: I thought the Richter-Rauzer had White playing Bxf6 and Black responding with ..gxf6 early in the opening. Is this really a Sicilian Richter-Rauzer variation?

Sep-16-16		ajile: OK I guess it is a Richter-Rauzer. The only time White gives Black doubled pawns is when White is attacking the d6 pawn with 2 pieces and plays Bxf6. Point being Black has to reply with ..gxf6 to avoid losing a pawn. For compensation Black does get the bishop pair.

Sep-17-16		Moszkowski012273: Yeah white was already sunk by the time 44.Rd3... was played. The EARLIER 39.g4... keeping the rook at bay probably could have drawn.

Sep-28-21		Phony Benoni: The geme is interesting enough to be a repeat GOTD. But how in the world has it been used with three different puns? August 28, 2011: Oll is Lost September 16, 2016: Oll We Need is Luft September 28, 2021: No Blood For Oll If there's a way to submit new puns for previous GOTD's, I'd like to know it.

Sep-28-21		MissScarlett: I predict a fourth outing.

Sep-28-21		Brenin: "They think it's Oll over." 45 ... Qa2+. "It is now!"

Sep-28-21		Honey Blend: Too bad Oll fell for the trick 23. ♕xh5 ♗a4, winning back the exchange. The simple 23. ♕e2 offering to trade Queens should have been sufficient.

Sep-28-21		keypusher: I sure do miss <I Play the Fred>.

Sep-28-21		offramp: Macabre: the player of White in P Poobalasingam vs J Radovanovic, 2008 (GotD 26/9/2021), died the same way.

Sep-28-21		Teyss: I learned three things with this game. 1. You can resubmit a pun for a already-selected GOTD. <Phony Benoni> Yes it's strange because CG rules say "Entries are subject to deletion (...) [if] The game has already been used as the "Game of the Day" since April 27th, 2004." The latest pun is somewhat questionable when we know Oll took his life six years after the game. Considering all this I just submitted <Oll Caesar!>. 2. You can spend 8 moves just activating your Rook as Black did from 34 to 42, and still win the game. 3. Be careful when choosing which piece to move. The innocent looking 44.Rd3? keeps the WQ on b1 to cover the first rank and a2 but is actually a forced mate. 44.Qd3 leads to an inferior but still defendable position.

Sep-28-21		MissScarlett: <I sure do miss <I Play the Fred>> I confess I thought I was posting a pun by User: fredthebear. Chess is all about the details.

Sep-28-21		Ironmanth: Nasty finish! Y'all stay safe out there and have an awesome week. Thanks as ever, chessgames.

Sep-28-21		offramp: <Teyss: ...8 moves just activating your Rook as Black did from 34 to 42, and still win the game.> "I’ve never seen anything like it in my life! It’s the rarest animal on earth!..." In London we call the manoeuvre a London Horidginal. The rook was reasonably placed at d8. click for larger view 34...Kh7 35.Qc5 Kg6 36.h4 Rh8 click for larger view 37.a3 Rh5 click for larger view 38.Qg1 Kh7 39.Rd1 Qb3 40.Rd2 Rf5 click for larger view 41.g4 Rf4. click for larger view A gen-yoo-whine Hodgeoridginoll.

Jan-23-23		Kamal Deka: After 34....Kh7 , why not 35. Qc2 , it's pretty defendable, at least from human perspective
