| Sep-10-10 | | sevenseaman: Amazing denouement at Move 22. How I wish I'd foreseen this Q flourish! |
|
| Mar-20-11 | | redcircle: Monday or Tuesday puzzle on move 22.white to play |
|
May-20-14
 | | sleepyirv: A reference to Weird Al Yankovich, I think. |
|

 | | Phony Benoni: In the beginning, there was the song and video "Beat It" by Michael Jackson. In the fullness of time, "Weird Al" Yankovic came up with a parody, "Eat It": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcJj...
"Eat It" can also be slang term for cramming something down somebody's throat. That might be descriptive of the game as well. |
|
| May-20-14 | | Jim Bartle: Don't forget the flip side to <Eat It>: "I Love Rocky Road," http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=beTsDO... |
|
| May-20-14 | | consul: 22. …… Ng8
23. Qh8 .. Bf7
24. Bh6 .. Bxe6
25. Qxg7+ .. Ke8
26. Rxc6
?
Or what's the plan? |
|
May-20-14
| | Phony Benoni: <consul> In your line, After 23...Bf7 White regains his sacrifice piece with 24.Bxf7 Kxf7 25.Rxc6, remaining three pawns ahead. |
|
| May-20-14 | | RookFile: I guess they can put this one right next to the Michael Jackson hologram that's out there these days. Was watching the Wierd Al video, it's hilarious. :) |
|
| May-20-14 | | jahhaj: So the pun refers to Weird Al Yankovich? Pretty weak IMHO. |
|
| May-20-14 | | consul: Hi, <Phony Benoni>, thank you! You're right, the dark-squared white <b>, in h6 is just lost.
I was thinking there might be a checkmate, but it resolves with a probably long battle, especially with the ladies still on the board… The pun is nice in my opinion, because it refers to the obvious mate after 22. … gxh6 23. ♗h6 #. |
|

 | | naresb: Continuation of the game is as follows:--
22... gxQh6
23. Bxh6+ # (1-0).
However here Black appears to have made some mistakes and thus shortened the game, he coould have played like:-- 21... Bf7
22. Bxh6; gxBh6
23. Qxh6; BxBe6
24. Ng5; Ng4
25. Qh7+; Kf8
26. Qh8+; Bh7
27. Nh7+; Ke8
28. QxBg8+; Kd7
29. QxNg4+;
and black could have lost a Bishop, a Knight, two pawns against that of whites' two Bishops; material damage alongwith positional loss. |
|
| May-20-14 | | Once: <Phony Benoni> "Eat it" was good, but that led me to "Amish Paradise" which had me in stitches. Great stuff. |
|
| May-20-14 | | Jim Bartle: My favorite is "Another One Rides the Bus." |
|
| May-20-14 | | TheTamale: So, instead of taking the queen, can't Black extend his life expectancy by playing 22)... Bf7? Then if 25) Qh8+, Black can safely block the check. Or can he??? Clearly Bronstein would have known better than I... I just can't see it. |
|
| May-20-14 | | Castleinthesky: Black definitely "ate it." It is a nice, almost miniature. Without the assistance of any computer, Bronstein played much too passively and set himself up for a great combination. |
|
| May-20-14 | | kevin86: Black had some counterplay, but it wasn't going to be easy. The taking of the queen results in immediate mate, of course. |
|
| May-20-14 | | Conrad93: So he defeated a very old bronstein with a typical mate. Why is this GOTD? |
|
| May-20-14 | | Jazzer32: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y5L...
This one is definitely best Al's song...
P.S. interesting chess game |

 | | Domdaniel: Was this 'Weird Al Yermolinsky' ...? |
|
| May-20-14 | | goodevans: <TheTamale: So, instead of taking the queen, can't Black extend his life expectancy by playing 22)... Bf7? Then if 25) Qh8+, Black can safely block the check.> That stops the immediate mate but leaves the ♘c6 hanging. And once that's gone there will follow <Ne5> and the roof caves in. |
|
| May-20-14 | | Tim Delaney: <The Tamale> "So, instead of taking the queen, can't Black extend his life expectancy by playing 22)... Bf7? Then if 25) Qh8+, Black can safely block the check." However, White then exchanges bishops and wins the knight at c6. Three pawns up and a raging attack. Even I could handle that. The best seems to be 22 Bd6, creating a flight square. but then 23. Qh8+ Ke7, 24 Qg7+ Kxe6, Re1+ and black loses quickly. |
|
| May-20-14 | | celtrusco: Great pun! |
|
May-20-14
 | | WannaBe: My favourite Weird Al, Saga Begins, Forrest Gump, White 'n Nerdy, Amish Paradise (Churning Butter Scene), Bedrock Anthem, Smells Like Teen Spirit, I Love Rocky Road. Um, I think that's it... =)) |
|
| May-20-14 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Fred Reinfeld would have approved of this game; it's like something out of his Complete Chess Course (which is a book I grew up with, many decades ago). |
|
| May-22-14 | | TheTamale: <TimDelaney>: OK, yes, thanks. I knew I must have been overlooking something simple. |
