 | | OhioChessFan: Really bad pun, and I don't mean that in a good sense. Contrary to everyone else I've seen weigh in on the matter, I always thought the puns should be foremost and the games, if they were good, would be a bonus. The overall level of the puns is not good, but to come up with one every day is a Herculean task. The 20 best efforts by the membership a few years ago was an agonizingly bad effort, and that was from a combined thousands of entries. |

 | | perfidious: <Dom <Morf> I also suggested to CG that they should have both a daily pun game and a daily quality game. Don't think it'll happen, though.> Pun games would be easy from the look of things-quality might be a bit tougher. Probably enough for the webmaster to do as things are. |
|
| Mar-23-14 | | morfishine: <perfidious> True, and I respect your opinion, but thats where I'm at on this issue: A "Game of The Day" should be an instructive game of high quality, from both sides (ideally). Save the puns for lesser, "fun-pun" type games |
|
| Mar-24-14 | | offramp: Kid Creole & His Merry Old Coconuts did a song called, <Vladdy, I am the Daddy> which contained the rousing chorus, <Ona-ona onomatopoeia!> repeated a thousand times. That's the significance of the pun. |
|
| Mar-24-14 | | morfishine: <offramp> I want to hear that song! Sounds like great fun! |
|
| Mar-24-14 | | offramp: You should be able to see it at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FOJ... The onomatopoeia chorus starts at about 2:30.
The coconuts are in fine working order and look superb. |

1 get a passed pawn
2 push, push,push... |

 | | thegoodanarchist: <morfishine: <thegoodanarchist> Thanks, I always enjoy your posts!> Well, Thank you! Not everyone does.
<I always try to augment criticism with solutions. For example, I sent to <CG> the suggestion that they create a new segment for a "Pun Game" and leave the segment for a "Game of the Day" as it should be: a truly interesting game that is thrilling for both sides> This is a good idea. |

| May-13-16 | | posoo: MORFUSOON do NOT get angry because u do not possess da linguistic abillaty to UNDERSTAND da PUN! Obviosly "Ponomatopoeia"
is a pun for
"Pono mate up heah!"
da mate is innevatable.
do NOT call people with linguistac brains "PATHETIC"
arguably dat in of ITSELF is patthetic. |

 | | al wazir: I got the first move, but after 19...fxe6 I would have played 20. Qa4. Black can't play 20...gxf4 because of 21. Rxd7. The continuation might be 20...b5 21. Qxa6 gxf4 22. Nxe6 Rxc1 23. Rxc1 Qb6 24. Qxb6 Nxb6 25. Nxf8 Bxf8. Or it might not be. |

|
| Jun-02-19 | | LoveThatJoker: I fired up an engine and noticed that 20. Qa4? is only a draw with best play after 20...Rxf4 - a move I missed in my blindfold calculations. I hope to do better next time! LTJ |
|
| Jun-02-19 | | stacase: 19.e6 cracks the egg. I wouldn't say the rest plays itself but it's pretty straight forward. I liked the pinned Bishop moves 25-29. |

 | | agb2002: White has two pawns for a bishop.
Black threatens gxf4.
The hole on f5, the pinned knights and the possibility of attacking the black king suggests 19.Qf5: A) 19... Rxc7 20.Rxc7 Qxc7 21.Rxd7
A.1) 21... Qc8 22.Bxg5 Bxg5 (22... Qxd7 23.Qxd7 Bxg5 24.f4 Bd8 25.e4, followed by a pawn roll, looks winning) 23.Qxg5+ Kh8 24.e6 (24.Qf6+ Kg8 25.e6 Qc1+ 26.Kg2 Qc6+ 27.f3 Qxe6) A.1.a) 24... Rg8 25.Qf6+ Rg7 26.Rd8+ wins decisive material. A.1.b) 24... Qc4 25.Qf6+ Kg8 26.exf7+ Qxf7 (26... Rxf7 27.Rd8+ Rf8 28.Q(R)xf8#) 27.Rxf7 wins decisive material. A.1.c) 24... Bc4 25.e7 Re8 26.Qf6+ Kg8 27.Rd8 wins decisive material. A.2) 21... Qc5 22.Be3 Qb4 23.Bd2 Qc5 24.b4 Qc8 25.Bxg5 as in A.1. A.3) 21... Bc8 22.Qxh7+ Kxh7 23.Rxc7 gxf4 24.Rxe7 fxg3 25.hxg3, unclear. B) 19... gxf4 20.Rxd7 Rxc7 (20... Qxd7 21.Qxd7 Bd8 22.e6 looks winning) 21.Qa8 22.Rxe7 wins decisive material. C) 19... Bb5 20.Nxb5 gxf4 21.Rc3 and the black knight is lost. |

| Jun-02-19 | | BxChess: I went with 19. Qf5, and find great consolation in the highly respected agb2002 also going down this path. I missed Bc8, as in 19. Qf5 Rxc7 20. Rxc7 Bc8 
click for larger view Black has a small edge after, say, 21. Rcxd7
gxf4 22. Rxd8 Bxf5 |
|
| Jun-02-19 | | TheaN: Hm. Went with Qf5 and not entirely too bad, even though it's better for Black whereas e6 is almost winning for White: it's a tough position. Qf5 fails due to some very intricate defensive options. |
