Jul-14-11		Sem: Spoil-the-pun: wasn't his name written Böök and pronounced like 'Euwe'?

Jul-14-11		consul: The pun made me laugh! But i wouldn't laugh thinking about the game. Very interesting also the lines proposed after 10.Kc6.

Jul-14-11		midknightblue: typical book moves. No surprises here.

Jul-14-11		HeMateMe: My hero Eero was "booked up", as they say at the Chess Life sales window.

Jul-14-11		APatzer: Black queen not worth taking !

Jul-14-11		hedgeh0g: Not sure if any of this was "book" in 1925, but White simply played the most obvious moves after Black blundered in the opening and quickly achieved a won game.

Jul-14-11		kevin86: "I am Book-do you read me?" I remember this game from the 1000 Best Short Games of Chess.-by Chernov;I even remember his cute remark on black's last move:look who is checking. Not exactly a Monday puzzle...

Jul-14-11		castledweller: exciting game . . . Black's queen is left hanging while White chases the king all around the board, attempting to mate without the need to take the queen - a unique and fun game. And it all happens so early on - thx CG.

Jul-14-11		castledweller: one for the books

Jul-14-11		Yerbamate: insane combinations deep

Jul-14-11		Blunderdome: Hmm, I didn't suggest this game for game of the day, but I did make the same pun on Feb 9th, 2010 at Keres vs Book, 1952.

Jul-14-11		SuperPatzer77: <Kevin86> Let's say "Book him for checkmate" when mirandizing him. LOL LOL LOL. SuperPatzer77

Jul-14-11		Lorenzon: wow what a coincidence, I looked at this game yesterday!!

Jul-14-11		WhiteRook48: awesome mating attack, but horrendous pun

Oct-31-12		pablo333: Brilliant play from Book: white appears to have a forced win after the seemingly logical 7... g6 from Hiidenheimo.

May-01-14		Mats G: The first name of black is Antti. The game is certainly authentic: It was played in the school championship of Suomalainen yhteiskoulu in the fall 1925 (Eero Böök: Odödliga partier och andra schackkåserier, Holger Schildts förlag, Helsingfors, 1966)

May-01-14		sakredkow: Throw the Book at him!

May-01-14		TheFocus: Yeah! Hit him in the Heimo!

Oct-31-14		Rookiepawn: Bishop opening - Blanel gambit... But it counts as a notable game for the Frankenstein-Dracula variation. Are the two the same?

Apr-21-15		TheaN: With the Vienna game being the opening of the day, I have to correct my own analysis from 2010: <TheaN: 10.Bb5†?!> in reaction to 10.O-O-O+ Kc6 11.Bxd8 being the best move. I wrote down 10.Bb5+, but meant 11.Bb5+, as possibly being better than 11.Bxd8. It's not true. After 11.Bxd8 Bh6+ 12.Kb1 Rxd8 13.Nf3 Bg7 14.Rhe1 black is indeed busted, as he can't defend e5. Unable to develop, the game is hopeless. After 11.Bb5+?! Kb6 12.Bxd8 Bh6+ 13.Kb1 Rxd8 , if 14.Nd5+ Kxb5 15.Nxc7+ Kc6 16.Nxa8 white is better, but black will regain Pf7 at some point and can probably untangle himself.

Mar-06-21		Mats G: The name Böök has nothing to do with book. It means beech.

Mar-06-21		Granny O Doul: Beech's brew.

Apr-09-22		Whitehat1963: Book him, Eero!

Dec-31-22		generror: One of my favourite games -- I just love kings going for a stroll! One of the nice things about this game is that in his last move, black is forced to check the white king before he's mated right next to him.

Dec-31-22		Messiah: Terrible pun, fantastic game.
