Jul-28-15 | | Abdooss: This is the game that Chessgame mentioned earlier on Duchamp's profile = < In 1925 he had his chances to become champion of France. He started well in the tournament, but blundered in a winning position against the eventual victor Robert Crepeaux, and then, perhaps deflated, lost to Casier. Duchamp ended up sixth. > |

Rd1>, which works just as fabolous and - as bonus - is more direct since it adds pressure along d-file. Even suboptimal queen moves like <30. Qd3/Qb1/Qe2> prevent throwing the win away. |

 | | Teyss: Duchamp, crazy artist who thinks a urinal is a work of art. Crépeaux, Chess player, France champion the year before. By move 30 you think the colours are inversed. No, and White blows it. Duchamp probably thought the game was an art happening where one creates something beautiful and then smashes it to pieces. Droll and apt pun. I recommend the movie which is funny https://www.imdb.com/title/tt352112... The theme somewhat similar to the even superior 'Ed Wood' https://www.imdb.com/title/tt010970... Was wondering for a moment if Missy selected it because the game was played after the 1924 Olympics in France, but she's not that smart. |

 | | FSR: A very sad and costly blunder by Duchamp. |

Jul-27-24 | | goodevans: Crepeaux missed a mate-in-3 with <35...Nd1+ 36.Kf1 Qd3+ 37.Ke1 Bf2#> but fortunately for him, his blunder wasn't so costly. Interesting game, if a little sad, and a pretty decent pun. |

33.Kf1?? Bad doggy! 33.Rxd4+ followed by taking the knight is 1-0. |

 | | Teyss: <FSR: (...) Bad doggy!> 😂 32...Nxe4+ is discovery check so White has to move the K. Anyhow White should win because the B is pinned, albeit in a long endgame with R vs N+P. |

Anyhow White should win because the B is pinned, albeit in a long endgame with R vs N+P.> You doggies obviously stick together. Either I'm hallucinating or both of you are. Pretty sure it's the latter. 32...Nxe4+ is indeed discovered check, but White doesn't have to move the king. He can take the checking piece, which he does with 33.Rxd4+ and it's game over. |

 | | Teyss: Hi FSR,
I should have known you were right, completely missed it as I focused on the BN and WK. Talk about Chess blindness. You can say <bad doggies> then. Going back to my kennel now. |
