| Jul-21-22 | | Honey Blend: Reminiscent of squeeze plays and most other pawn chain closed position, anti-engine games: Karpov vs Unzicker, 1974 Rybka vs Nakamura, 2008 |
|
| Jul-21-22 | | redcrescent: The Knights are incredibly strong in closed positions. Love the way how Petrov out maneuvered opponent's pieces. |

 | | Teyss: We don't mind a rerun as long as the game is interesting and/or it's a tribute to PB. <Honey Blend> That game is nuts Rybka vs Nakamura, 2008. In a completely blocked position, Nakamura gives up two exchanges so the engine thinks it has an advantage and plays on. With 2Rs vs B+N but unable to break through, it commits seppuku on move 174 (this is not a typo) and slowly crashes until move 271. In the endgame Nakamura under-promotes 6 (no typo either) Pawns just to have fun. All this in blitz. Amazing. |

| Aug-05-22 | | Brenin: It's nice to be reminded of <PB>, but we saw this game only a few weeks ago, and even then it was a recent repeat. |
|
| Nov-21-22 | | Brenin: Welcome back, old friend. It's good to remember <PB> once (or more) in a while. |
|
| Nov-21-22 | | goodevans: This game again? Has Missy been hitting the sauce a little too hard again this evening? The last thing we need is another GOTD to rival "A pin but..." for repetition. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: Very cute positional gem. |
|
| Nov-21-22 | | Brenin: When I first came across this game, I was surprised that I knew nothing about Petrov. His bio here gives a very sad and moving explanation of his lack of fame, despite his brilliance as a chess player. The first paragraph and the last two are particularly relevant; it seems that some things do not change. |

The last thing we need is another GOTD to rival "A pin but..." for repetition.> And back it comes again. I guess the Grand Swiss is providing too much of a distraction. Hopefully a new GOTD when I return in the morning. |
|
| Nov-03-23 | | Brenin: The one good consequence of seeing this game here yet again is that it reminds us of the tragic story of Petrov's life. Read his bio and weep. |
|
| Nov-03-23 | | goodevans: Morning is here and hoorah! we do indeed have a new GOTD. And what a cracking game it is: B Adhiban vs Iturrizaga Bonelli, 2023 |
|
| Feb-07-24 | | goodevans: This is now a serious challenger to <A pin, but not a safety pin> for GOTD repetitions. Is anyone keeping score? To repeat what I said three months ago, "Hopefully a new GOTD when I return in the morning". |

| | Honza Cervenka: Pawn structure on the Queenside reminds me a bit P Talpa vs J Cervenka, 2015 |

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: This game features a strikingly similar structure--Capablanca vs K Treybal, 1929. |
|
| Feb-07-24 | | goodevans: By my reckoning, this is the 7th outing for this game as GOTD. Whilst that might pale into insignificance compared with "A Pin, But...", I would still have expected seven appearances would be sufficient to earn it a mention in the GOTD pun index: Game Collection: Game of the Day Pun Index (Pun - Sister) ... which, strangely, it has yet to do.
Maybe on its next outing then? |

|
| Feb-07-24 | | goodevans: <Try the living: Game Collection...> It would appear that all the 'living' game collections include a link back to <PB>'s old catalogue of GOTD indices: <See Game Collection: Game of the Day & Puzzle of the Day Collections for complete lists of User: Phony Benoni's Game of the Day and Puzzle of the Day collections.> ... but not to any equivalent catalogue of 'living' indices. Is there such a catalogue of the living indices? If so, why only link back to the unmaintained catalogue? If not, why not? |
|
Feb-07-24
| | MissScarlett: The up-to-date indexes can be accessed though my current <GOTD> collection, which is, in turn, accessible via each <GOTD> selection: Game Collection: Game of the Day 2024 Get with the program! |
|
| Feb-07-24 | | goodevans: No, it's obviously misleading for the only links to be to the unmaintained catalogue. Just shoddy. I know that even you can see that though obviously you'll never admit it. You never do. |
|
Feb-07-24
| | MissScarlett: Game Collection: Game of the Day 2024 gives links to the maintained collections. What part of this don't you understand? |
|
| Feb-08-24 | | goodevans: Let me spell it out to you in terms that even a simpleton could understand. Not that I think you're a simpleton, just totally obsessed with appearing right even when you know you're not. The link you cited includes several other links, the very first of which is <See Game Collection: Game of the Day & Puzzle of the Day Collections for complete lists of Game of the Day and Puzzle of the Day collections.> but that is a link back to the obsolete <PB> catalogue. Obviously rather misleading if you're trying to navigate around the site. But go ahead, please insist that this is all perfect and what was always intended. |
