johnnyb3: <An Englishman> Seems that 25.Ne7 would be a rude shock. |

johnnyb3: Toughie. I decided that OTB I'd have played Bc2 Qc6 21. Rxb7, but I was pretty sure that wasn't it. |

johnnyb3: <BeechBishop> 16.Bxc6 Nc4 threatening Bxb2# looks pretty tough to deal with. |

johnnyb3: <Jim Bartle The country with majority support for ISIS is Pakistan, with 28 opposing, 62 supporting.> You read that wrong, Jim. Only 9% favorable for ISIS in Pakistan. |

johnnyb3: <docbenway> In your line the rook just takes the pawn. (Also see <abuzic>'s refutation above of the similar attempt 29.a6 Qxb5 30.Qxb5 Rxb5 31.a7 Ra5 32.Rc1.) |

johnnyb3: n+2, where n is the number of different kinds of pairs of chopsticks. Like the old sock-drawer puzzle with a little tweak. |
