Oct-24-09		tpstar: Golly, these puns are getting better all the time. ;>D This Advance Line against the Caro-Kann (e5/g4/h4/h5/f4) is a great way to overwhelm an unsuspecting opponent, albeit with some risk. I played it in the halcyon days of my youth (?!), but now I prefer the Panov-Botvinnik Attack as sharper. Note 21. Qf2 threatens 22. Nc6+ winning the Queen, and then if 28 ... exd5 29. Bxd5+! works as the Qc5 is pinned against the mate threat on a7. The finish is one of the few Double Checks in my career. <SamAtoms1980> I've been doing this before you were born. =) This was when I played First Board for the University of Michigan.

Oct-24-09		SugarDom: It's an exciting game and the pun is clever... but i try to use only grandmaster's name... If that wasn't the case, i can submit another 1000 puns just based on names... Congrats, Tpstar anyways...

Oct-24-09		returnoftheking: Nice attack. You must have been very young, or confident or contempteous of the opponent, with all those pawn moves..:p Btw, in addition to your analysis my computer comes up with the possible pawn sac 23..f6 and maybe ok. for black.

Oct-24-09		pulsar: Nice attack, <tpstar>. Congrats for the GOTD feature. :)

Oct-24-09		Richard Taylor: Good game, great plan of attack an a nice finish. I lost to Caro today (partly as I didn't really have good plan - planning etc is my big weakness apart from stupidity and old age!) and I came on to see some new way to play against it...and here is an example on the front page - which I had already played over... The Panov-Bot perhaps...?

Oct-24-09		SamAtoms1980: <tpstar: <SamAtoms1980> I've been doing this before you were born. =)> By "this" I meant those posts with interwoven song lyrics and game moves I first saw it on the Carlsen page and got the impression that it was something you started only recently, but it looks like I was wrong

Oct-24-09		Bradah: It's should have been called Randy's Present. LOL.

Oct-24-09		DarthStapler: What happens if black doesn't take the pawn on b6?

Oct-24-09		Mr. President: Thanks for keeping my <ID> privately. 'Mr. Present'

Oct-24-09		keypusher: Nice!

Oct-24-09		MrMelad: Congratz <tpstar> for a wonderful game of the day and for being such a great poster :)

Oct-24-09		playground player: <tpstar> Wow! I like that! Sort of a Pickett's Charge that really worked. Very bold, advancing all those pawns and not castling the King. But sometimes the best defense is a good offense.

Oct-24-09		WhiteRook48: not a nice present

Oct-24-09		obientag: <tpstar> well played sir. I like it.

Oct-24-09		ComboKal: An all-out pawn blitz! I love it! Dangerous having your king exposed, but your opponent can't get anything going. He tried with 23. ...Nc4, but 24.b6 and 25.Nc5 were the winning moves.

Oct-24-09		Wayne Proudlove: Interesting.

Oct-24-09		randomsac: what's wrong with 22...Qxc3+

Oct-25-09		Phony Benoni: 22,,,Qxc3+ is a mistake because it allows 23.Rxc3, bringing the rook to a more active square.

Oct-25-09		Anthony1: @randomsac... lol, Qxc3 is a SOLID move :P

Oct-26-09		kevin86: Ouch! Double check and mate next...

Nov-24-09		Annie K.: Hey, I missed this making GOTD! The pun is mine. :D

Jan-02-12		voratco: Chessgames said I can call this game a "present".
