| May-20-07 | | MostlyAverageJoe: <fm avari viraf: I think White's best Knockout punch would have been 28.Rh3 where Black is defenseless.> Not really: 28 ... Qg6! saves the day for the black after 28.Rh3? |

 | | kevin86: A comical final position. Almost every piece is under attack. The white queen is attacked twice,the rook twice,the knight once,and the other rook once. Mate,of course follows at g6 after gxf6 |

 | | fm avari viraf: <MostlyAverageJoe> Actually, I did't give the line after 28.Rh3 Qd2? which I missed to mention as 29.Rh8+ Kxh8 & it's mate in 2 but after 28...Qg6 29.Qh4 Qh6 and a long battle ahead. |

 | | tpstar: 27. Rh6!! is a stunning key and the entire combination is just brilliant. Interesting commentary about 28. Ne4 vs 28. Nh7. |

| Feb-18-22 | | Brenin: At the end, White is a P down, all his pieces, Q+2R+N, are under attack, and a back rank mate is looming. A good time for a resignation. |

Lovely composition. 1.Nd4 looks like a solution. |

 | | Phony Benoni: The Golden Rule does not work in chess. If you want your opponents to play 1.f3, playing it yourself ain't gonna help. |

| Feb-18-22 | | syracrophy: I really liked the creativity of the conclusive sequence (which started with the maneouver ♖a6!-♖h6!) that ended with this funny position:

| Feb-18-22 | | LoveThatJoker: GM Efimov is the first GM I ever beat in my blitz chess career. I came back from an inferior position and played a great endgame. Time control was 3+0. Year was 2009, I believe. LTJ
PS. <FSR> Nice pun. |

| Feb-18-22 | | goodevans: Fab game.
The fact that Black's troubles seem to have started with <17.Bxh7+> suggests to me he'd have been better off playing <13...Na5> without exchanging pawns first. |

| | FSR: <Phony Benoni: The Golden Rule does not work in chess. If you want your opponents to play 1.f3, playing it yourself ain't gonna help.> But they might respond with 1...f6. Cf. Carlsen vs Dreev, 2018. |

Even here, the position is by no means clearly a win for White. |
|
| Feb-18-22 | | offramp: <The Goldin Rule> this is a very poor effort.
It was made 9 years ago and I hope Pun Theory has advanced since then. |
|
Feb-18-22
 | | OhioChessFan: Great game, serviceable pun. Which is well above average these days. Based on 2022's output, I'd say Pun Theory has regressed. |
|
| Feb-18-22 | | goodevans: <OCF> Yes, it would seem that gone are the days when a clever pun would promote some absolute dross to GOTD. And good riddance! But already this year we've had <Teenage Waste Lund> which would probably have made the top ten even in previous years where the pun was king. For my part I'm really appreciating this change of emphasis. |

| | OhioChessFan: A quick review of the puns for 2022. I'll list those I'd grade as at least a B, neither of which I'd give an A: Jameson on the Rocks
