 | | Naniwazu: <hesyrett: I saw this game published in "Chess Review" long ago under the heading "Burn Fiddles While Marshall Roams." I hereby pass this pun on to the next generation of chess buffs.> Love that pun! |

 | | RookFile: You can just see the smirk on Marshall's face. Hilarious notes. |

 | | Moonwalker: Love the annotations! |

 | | offramp: I have read all the kibitzing but I don't get the pun. Could someone explain it to me? |
|
| Jun-09-13 | | Jim Bartle: Read the annotations with the moves. |

 | | morfishine: Its notes like these that enrich chess!
Technically, the game label "The Pipe Game" is no more a pun than "The Gold Piece Game", or "The Evergreen" or "The Immortal Game" However the title "Burn Fiddles While Marshall Roams"...Now thats a pun worthy of a game like this |
|
| Jun-09-13 | | erimiro1: A good idea for a "Mr. Bean" scene :-) |
|
| Jun-09-13 | | pumping707: Wao! 9ice annoatation + a good game....poor Burn could not light the pipe on time! Lol |

 | | SuperPatzer77: <Morfishine> LOL LOL I assume that Amos Burn inhaled the tobacco smoke in his pipe too much while he was taking this game too seriously. As the game ended, his pipe went out!! <Morfishine> Why don't we buy pipe and smoke the pipes together? It's just like Sherlock Holmes usually did. Emmanuel Lasker loved smoking a cigar while playing chess. LOL LOL

 | | PawnSac: Burns had no clue..
it was Marshall on the Patio with the Pipe.
The annotations were better than the game! lol
Burns and his pipe,
Lasker and his cigar,
all these old-timer GM's would have to go into retirement under modern rules,
smoking not allowed in the tournament halls. They would lose on time from frequent intermissions to run outside and light up. hehe |

| | PawnSac: <Penguincw: Oh wow. Not much analysis in this game, more of what Burn was doing.> yes and since it is GOTD on Sunday, June 9, 2013, it makes for perfect Sunday AM entertainment. Good call CG ! |

 | | Snehalshekatkar: What a story!! |
|
| Jun-09-13 | | oeelizondo: This great game can be found in Marshall's book "My Fifty Years of Chess" along with many others! |
|

 | | playground player: Marshall's play-by-play is hilarious!
Is there any chess master today who can write funny stuff like that? |
|
Jun-09-13
 | | Cemoblanca: I learned so much from this game:
First of all, the pipe must burn before the game, whatever the cost! Secondly, if you cannot handle a pipe, then stop it (for once)! ;) Really enjoyed the annotations! Wonderful! :) |

| | RookFile: Black would have gotten a decent game with 8...Nxd5. If you're going to go with the formation where black prefers exd5, the bishop is actually better posted on e6 rather than b7. |
|
| Jun-09-13 | | catlover: Burns thought he could handle Marshall...it was just a pipe dream. |
|

| | offramp: I still don't get it. |
|
| Jun-09-13 | | dbrenner23: Entertaining & informative! OK, it's either pipe smoking, or chess for me. But never both at the same time -- If I ever do take up pipe smoking! |
|

 | | kevin86: I guess Burn was poor at multi-tasking |
|
Jun-10-13
| | morfishine: <SuperPatzer77> I can't take credit for this gem of a pun...<hesyrett> made reference to this back in 2008: Marshall vs Burn, 1900 |
|

 | | Phony Benoni: And the game was GOTD back on 8/19/2005 with the same pun. Some games deserve repeats. Game Collection: Game of the Day 2005 |
