Jun-28-19		Mountain1: first

Jun-28-19		al wazir: Great pun -- for a change. Great game too.

Jun-28-19		Count Wedgemore: Nah, yesterday's Star Wars related pun was much better. And here's the thing: SHE NEVER UTTERED THESE WORDS!!

Jun-28-19		al wazir: If black plays 28...Rae8, white's attack bogs down.

Jun-28-19		Count Wedgemore: <al wazir> White is still winning after 28...Rae8. The e5-pawn will soon fall, and after that I don't see how Black can hold on the e4-pawn either.

Jun-28-19		Richard Taylor: Good pun, very drole...poor Kate though. And a good game.

Jun-28-19		Richard Taylor: I believe Marie Antoinette has been misquoted and misunderstood on this issue. Still, one has to be careful in such extreme times...

Jun-28-19		actinia: what a fun game. sensible enough play by black and white gets in some great sacrificial attacking

Jun-28-19		goodevans: The phrase is associated with Marie Antoinette even if she never said it. It's the one Marie Antoinette 'quote' that everyone knows, just like "play it again, Sam" from Casablanca. A truly inspired pun and a pretty interesting game too (even if <25.Nxh5> was just begging to be played).

Jun-28-19		Diademas: Inspired pun. "The problem with quotes on the internet, is that they can't be trusted." -Abraham Lincoln

Jun-28-19		sfm: <goodevans: ...associated with Marie Antoinette even if she never said it...> My teacher told me in 1976 that she did, and he was a man to trust! OK, he didn't have the internet. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Let_t... Trusting that, there is no good reason to believe she actually said this famous and silly thing. If a quote is undeservedly attributed to you, may it be a brilliant one. http://mentalfloss.com/article/6106... <even if 25.Nxh5 was just begging to be played>. Certainly, but probably 25.Nf5 is the smarter move. The knight can (also) not be captured on f5, and from there it has access to h6 and e7 (which comes in handy), and blocks Be3's access to g6, so e4-e3 does not protect g6 after 26.Rg3.

Jun-28-19		sfm: <al wazir: If black plays 28...Rae8, white's attack bogs down> Maybe 29.g3 and a sac on g6 if the knight moves. Best then is probably 29.-,RxN 30.QxR,Ne6 31.Rxe5,Kg8 32.Qxb7 click for larger view White should win.

Jun-28-19		WannaBe: There's also no truth to the rumour, that Kate is the black sheep of the family, the pun is baaaaaa(d) And where in the world is Marie's sister, Carmen?

Jun-28-19		Breunor: <WannaBe> Where in the world is she?

Jun-28-19		dumbgai: Just like Roberto Duran never actually said “no mas” in the second Leonard fight.

Jun-28-19		Diademas: <dumbgai: Just like Roberto Duran never actually said “no mas” in the second Leonard fight.> Everybody knows that was Duran Duran.

Jun-28-19		pmukerji: What if 28...e3?

Jun-28-19		morfishine: Them???
