 | | diceman: <Phony Benoni: There ought to be a decent GOTD pun for this game, but darned if I can think of it. <Bad Bad Leroy Dubeck> just doesn't work for me, though it does describe the game quite well.> How about:
1)Dubeck gives check, Weinstein says “no Morra”
2)Everybody loves Raymond, except Leroy.
3)Dubeck wants Morra Weinstein.
4)Do check, Dubeck
5)Dubeck gives check, and Morra
6)Weinstein wants no Morra from Dubeck |

Sep-18-13 | | jerseybob: I knew Dubeck in my days at Temple U. and in the Philly chess scene, and he's a very strong master. One game that should definitely be in this database is his win against Eric Bone from one of the U.S. Opens back in the 70's. Brilliant game. |

Sep-18-13 | | Shams: <jerseybob> Wow, what a stunner. Found and uploaded. With a name like 'bone', it's just begging to be GOTD. http://www.365chess.com/view_game.p... |

 | | offramp: Dubeck Doublecheck. |

 | | FSR: Morra Imperative. |
|

 | | FSR: I knew that pun was a winner. |
|
Dec-12-17 | | ASchultz: So interesting to see the scratchwork before the final accepted GotD name. I love it when a pun comes together! |
|
Dec-12-17 | | schnarre: ...Mate is unavoidable here! |
|
Dec-12-17 | | saturn2: 6 ..Na5 is a beginner move. |
|
Dec-12-17
 | | Dionysius1: True enough. I'd have played 7. Bxf7 as in Kurtes vs Berta, 1958 |
|
Dec-12-17
 | | Dionysius1: I hope! |
|
Dec-12-17 | | ColeTrane: ...more like "Don't be a Weinstein"! ... too soon??? |
|
Dec-12-17 | | morfishine: It was this game that pushed Weinstein over the edge... ***** |
|
Dec-12-17
 | | offramp: Can anyone explain what "Morra Imperative" means? |
|
Dec-12-17
 | | FSR: offramp - Google "moral imperative." It's a term in philosophy. |
|
Dec-12-17 | | Nietzowitsch: or <categorical imperative>, just in case ... |
|
Dec-12-17 | | newzild: Spectacular!
White handles his initiative so well, he is able to leave his queen en prise to a knight for five moves. Added to my Game Collection: The Best Games You've Never Heard Of |

Dec-12-17 | | morfishine: "We'll have to rehearse that," said the undertaker as the coffin fell out of the car ***** |
|
Dec-12-17
 | | Domdaniel: <morf> Heh. Now *that* is a pun... |
|
Dec-12-17 | | saturn2: 'The moral gambit' because the queen was offered but not taken. |
|
Dec-12-17
 | | Domdaniel: Taking the White Queen permits mate, eg, 13...Nxd4 14.Bh6+ Kg8 15.Nxf6#. Or a move earlier: 12...Nxd4 13.Nxf6+ Kf8 14.Bh6#. |
|
Dec-12-17
 | | FSR: <Dionysius1> As a couple of commentators to that game observed, 8...Nf6 refutes Kurtes' sacrifice. |
|
Dec-12-17 | | chesst: at 1/2 game...
the needed precision
...
:fascinating...intuition... |

 | | FSR: <ColeTrane: ...more like "Don't be a Weinstein"! ... too soon???> You don't want to mess with Ray Weinstein.
