  An Englishman: Good Evening: No kibitzing for the game which introduced the refutation of 3.f3?! For shame. Mr. Wurm deserves some credit for his innovation, and some for his Morphy-like hurricane that follows.

If nothing else, the position after 4...exd4 looks rather picturesque, doesn't it?

  perfidious: One might say that the Wurm turned on White's gambit.

While terrible at puns, maybe 'the Wurm turned' is worthy of submission, but I've no idea how to set about it. Not something which has been of particular interest to me, really.

Apr-15-16  Calaszlo: Is there something wrong with 22...Qc5?

  Breunor: Caladzlo, hard to beat mate in 1!
May-03-21  Cheapo by the Dozen: Good game, but I don't understand the pun reference.
May-03-21  Autoreparaturwerkbau: What is pun all about? Maybe a reference to the last ice age (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W%C3%...)?
May-03-21  Brenin: Plenty of swash being buckled in this game, and also in the reverse fixture A F Wurm vs A E Blackmar, 1883, which has a pretty finish.
May-03-21  goodevans: We have the refutor of the gambit demonstrating that refutation against it's inventor. And his name just happens to be <Wurm>.

Full marks for avoiding the obvious pun.

  perfidious: Lol; had not even recalled having a look at this game, much less commenting, though the surname provides an opportunity only too apparent.

  Breunor: I think the pun is referencing a song called Dr. Worm by They Might Be Giants.

It does, but even more so after 6.Bf4 perhaps?

Nothing I can see. Looks like Mate.
