 | | Phony Benoni: I suppose 42...Nh2+ has to be the <best> move, forcing mate in two. But the position just cried out for the humorous finish 42...Re1+!! 43.Kxe1 Kg2! Now Black just fools around with his knight until it lands on f3 with check. White must respond with Kd1, Black answers ...Kf1 and sees how many moves it will take to play ...Nf2#. Meanwhile, White can do nothing but pace his rook back and forth in its prison cell. |

Sep-13-08 | | GeauxCool: <Phony Benoni> HA! In that one, Black can also rest the knight after its foolishness with an eventual Nc2+, forcing Kd1, and now his King can go for a leisurely stoll around the board. Great find! :D click for larger view |

Jun-16-11 | | Dr. J: Not that there is anything wrong at all with Black's play, but perhaps even more thematic would have been 27...Rxf5 28 Rxf5 Rf8 exchanging White's last mobile piece, after which Black's two-piece advantage will win easily, e.g., 29 Rxf8+ Kxf8 30 Kg2:  click for larger view (By contrast, in the game continuation, I believe that White's 33 Nxh6 considerably sped up Black's win.) |

 | | perfidious: Teichmann's contemptuous reference to the 'double-hole game' comes to mind on playing through this abomination. How on earth did White manage to conjure up such a dreadful position when barely out of the opening? |

 | | FSR: Chastened by this experience, Bailey played 2.b4 in G Bailey vs F Inumerable, 1996, ensuring that he'd be able to develop his queen bishop. Alas, he lost twice as quickly as he did in this game. |

Jul-01-24 | | goodevans: <FSR> Ha, ha! In that game it was Bailey's QR and QN that failed to get off their starting squares but at least his QB saw some action. ;o) And at least Bailey had the decency to resign there at a reasonable point. What on earth made him think he stood any chance playing on after 36...Kxf5 here?  click for larger viewOkay, material is equal but...!
Playing on in an utterly hopeless position then resigning one move before mate to deny your opponent that satisfaction is IMHO the ultimate insult in chess. |

Unfortunately that game was played before but it doesn't matter, the idea is hilarious. Or we could turn it around: chastened by his experience in G Bailey vs F Inumerable, 1996 where his Qside was invaded after impetuously pushing his Ps, here he consolidated his Qside by overprotecting his Ps with R and B, from the back. Fun game and pun. |
