daveinsatiable: This is why I'm just an average club player – I completely convinced myself and was about to post that black has a much easier win at move 19 with:

daveinsatiable: <DionysiusI> No sir!! The pun refers, at least I hope it refers (otherwise the punster should have his punning rights withdrawn) to 1977 disco classic "Yes sir, I can boogie" by Baccara ( https://www.google.co.uk/url?q=http... ) For <Once>, <morf>'s habitual |
