 | | Phony Benoni: There may be an error in the pun. When I saw the game in the Pun Voting Both, I believe it was <B Heastie Buoyed>. By the way, 27.Kxd1 is a blunder ony if you tink that playing out 27.Rxd1 Rxa2 will be more pleasurable that going out for an early lunch and forgetting about the whole sad business. |

 | | Breunor: Was very surprised to see 21 b4, it looks anti-positional. Glad to see computer prefers 21 Ba5, -.55; b4 comes in at -1.21. |

Apr-27-20 | | Brenin: White might have tried 27 Rxd1, hoping for 27 ... Rxh2?? 28 Qa6+ Kc7 29 Qa5+ Kb7 30 Rd7+ and mate. Of course, 28 Rxa2 Qxa2 29 Qxa2 instead is terminal. |

 | | Phony Benoni: <ajile> <goodevans> My comment was based on White playing 27.Rxd1 instead of <27.Kxd1> In that case neither 27...QAd3 nor 27...Qe2 are check, and Black must be careful not to allow 28.Qa6+. |
|
Apr-27-20 | | goodevans: <Phony Benoni> Yep, I got that first time around and, of course, 27...Rxa2 would do more than just prevent 28.Qa6+. |

 | | FSR: Surely the pun is missing an "H" - <Heastie Buoyed> rather than <eastie Buoyed>? |
