Feb-19-23 Ganguly vs A Adly, 2012
| |
| thegoldenband: <faulty: I'd say the song by Savage Garden> Nope, <Jamboree> had it right, I had the movie starring Alan Rickman in mind. It may be obscure now -- but perhaps it was less so 10 years ago, when I originally submitted the pun! (That's only slight hyperbole: I keep a ... |

Feb-13-23 C Belcher vs J Fang, 2001
| |
| thegoldenband: Mayhem on the back rank or massive material loss coming for White here. Belcher's position was fine until the premature 14. e4, which led to rapid ruin. |

Jan-01-23 Bereziuk vs A Izhnin, 1976

| thegoldenband: <faustr: The pun refers to the subtitle of GM Polugayevsky's excellent book, "Grandmaster Preparation". It chronicles the remarkable effort it took to prove that 7....b5 was a viable variation.> Oh, good catch! Particularly given the game variation, I think you're right: |
