| Jan-20-15 | | Mating Net: Black was careful not to rush into the triple Queen sac prematurely. He had to get the King to a light square and off the a1-h8 diagonal or else a1Q would have been answered by Qxa1+ spoiling the whole show. |

| | FSR: <Penguincw> If the pawns are far advanced and the defending king isn't around, sure, the pawns can draw or even win. Keres vs E Eliskases, 1938 is a famous example where the man with the rook drew by the skin of his teeth. (Amazingly, I managed to pull off this exact draw in a game on FICS.) But Gunina's pawns here weren't going anywhere. Even three not-far-advanced connected passed pawns (e.g. pawns on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ranks) lose in this kind of position.

| Jan-21-15 | | zanzibar: After 24...g5 25.fxg5 f5
click for larger viewAn interesting position.
Black's 24...g5?! is overly aggressive, and White probably wished she found 25.Qg6+! one move sooner (not so easy, there's loads of complications). |
|
| Jan-21-15 | | zanzibar: Another critical position for White, after 42...Re7, Black self-pins the rook and White misses a good chance:

There is a nice attraction/fork tactic at White's disposal to neutralize the e-pawn. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Three Times a Lady is a top 10 of all time pun. I regret it wasn't Gunina who queened the pawns, but that's just a quibble. |

| | FSR: <OCF>. Thanks. Glad you like it so much. Happily, it appears that neither <Three Times a Lady> nor <Once, Twice, Three Times a Lady> has been used before. Game Collection: Game of the Day Pun Index (T-Z); Game Collection: Game of the Day Pun Index (M-P). |

 | | HeMateMe: Great pun, nice tactical endgame work by Sevian. |
|
| Apr-03-15 | | Jim Bartle: Excellent pun. No game for "Back Stabbers"? |
|
Apr-03-15
| | HeMateMe: What game would work with 'back stabbers'? A player named 'Back'? Back rank attack? Maybe too subtle, but it's a good idea. |

| Apr-03-15 | | morfishine: Very entertaining and highly instructive.
But White Blooped horribly with <56.Qxh6>?? when 56.Qxd7 Rxd7 57.Rxe2 at least draws:

| Apr-03-15 | | Nerwal: <56.Qxd7 Rxd7 57.Rxe2 at least draws:> Gunina probably didn't like this and wanted to keep playing for three results. It's very much a draw but it's White who has to be careful there; it's not as good for her as it looks, the a pawn is very annoying. |
|

 | | catlover: <morfishine> Yeah, I also thought that 56.Qxd7 would have been a huge improvement over the game line. Of course, had Gunina played that, we wouldn't have had the treat of seeing this beautiful Queen-themed finish. |
|

 | | scormus: <catlover, morfishine: Yeah, I also thought ....> Glad I wasn't the only one who was puzzle ;) <FSR, OCF> Yes, great pun :) If only Gunina had been B in this game it would have been perfection. |

| Apr-03-15 | | thegoodanarchist: <WannaBe: Grrrrrrreat, now I can't get Eddie Murphy doing Buckwheat sings (SNL) out of my head. Probably one of <THE> funniest skit, ever> The Buh Weet sketch where EM sings Fee times a Mady was the first thing I thought of when I saw the pun! Hilarious. I think Rolling Stone ranked it as their #1 SNL sketch of all time, but for me #1 is Will Ferrell playing the cowbell as a fictional BOC band member named Gene Frenkle. Christopher Walken plays the producer who says "I got a fever. And the only prescription is more cowbell" |

| | WannaBe: <thegoodanarchist> I LOOOOOOVE Walken as "The Continental"! Okay, back to discussing chess... |
|
| Apr-03-15 | | mruknowwho: When it is said that the rook belongs BEHIND the passed pawn, a game like this can demonstrate why that is. |
|
| Apr-04-15 | | vajeer: What if White plays 31. Qd5+ before playing Rf3? Then Black cannot play e4 in response. |
|
| Apr-04-15 | | kevin86: Black gives up three queens to win by a rook...and maybe another lady to come. |
