Jul-03-14		perfidious: 'Unimpressive' seems a good characterisation of the play in this affair.

Jul-03-14		WannaBe: What a Mickey Mouse of a game.

Jul-03-14		Jim Bartle: Come on. It was a bullet game. Dum-dum bullets. (Joke lifted from "Roger Rabbit.")

Jul-03-14		zanzibar: Don't wanna be a scrooge about it, but I wouldn't mind ducking this game - by a couple of quacks. All I can really say is that it was animated while it lasted. Somebody must have waddled a bit over the board to transcribe the moves - with nary a foul.

Jul-03-14		Check It Out: That's dethpicable!

Jul-03-14		scutigera: <Check It Out>: That's a daffy comment.

Jul-03-14		Jim Bartle: What do they say instead of checkmate?

Jul-03-14		rapidcitychess: I think we're mixing our ducks here.

Jul-03-14		Penguincw: Can anyone see the position at 15:14? From what I can see, it's click for larger view Pretty crazy position if you ask me.

Jul-03-14		Shams: White could have played 25.Rxh7, but he was after bigger game than the poultry win of a kingside pawn.

Jul-03-14		perfidious: <Shams> Ah'll tell yew what-Ah lahke poultry, but not poultry wins. Gimme the big stuff!

Jul-19-14		Mr. V: Shams is right. While Donald is really more of a spectator, he is standing on the white side - there is nothing at all that makes us believe he played black (or red, as shown in the video).

Jul-19-14		FSR: This duck is a fish.

Jul-20-14		Sally Simpson: Of course it's all theory up to move 18. Check out. M.Mouse v B.Bunny, Hollywood 1946. And here: click for larger view White has 22.Ne6+ instead of 22.Nd5+. (why has this not been submitted for a Monday POTD - and there is no pun!)

Jul-20-14		An Englishman: Good Evening: Weirdly enough the Rook & 2 vs. Rook endgame is not without interest, but both sides play rather poorly.

Dec-21-14		shoshonte: I just check this page! I was the one who submitted it! so happy it actually got posted. There's a tradition at my school that every year on the last day before Christmas break, we would watch Donald Duck in Mathmagic Land. One of my friends who is in the USAFA said that his calc teacher did the same thing. Such a nostalgic short film for me. What's next? Tiddlywinks?

Dec-26-14		AlbertodaCruz: 46...Ka8

Jul-14-15		offramp: Kids will adore this long technical rook and pawn ending.

Dec-23-16		Domdaniel: 22.Nd5+ is OK, but 22.Ne6+ is better. Duck, you sucker!

Oct-09-19		MSteen: 60. Qh3# is quicker.

Feb-16-21		An Englishman: Good Evening: My nomination for this year's April 1 game of the day.

Feb-16-21		vonKrolock: This was my first favorite game (back in the late 60ies)

Feb-16-21		MissScarlett: <White has 22.Ne6+ instead of 22.Nd5+. (why has this not been submitted for a Monday POTD - and there is no pun!)> That's all, forks!

Apr-05-23		fredthebear: Donald had an easy book draw but did not know the proper technique to arrange it. The White king must get ahead of the lone pawn. The Black king prevents the White king from advancing. When the king moves beside his lone pawn on the adjacent file (king and pawn are on the same rank next to each other), gain the direct opposition of kings (face-to-face). Never allow the king to get ahead of his lone pawn. Thus, 44...Ka7 and 46...Ka8 would have been textbook draws because the White king cannot get ahead of his lone pawn with White to move. The White king will never be able to gain control of the promotion square b8. Here's a brief example of how to draw against a lone pawn: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?... Instead, 46...Kc8?? is disaster for Black. Also, I preferred the Black rook behind the White king and pawn to give checks from behind. However, the exchange of rooks in the corner worked out to Black's benefit.

Jan-10-25		FSR: Donald Duck may have been Black in this game, but 3.d5 is a Mickey Mouse move.
