| May-27-08 | | Alphastar: White could not find a way to defend against the <MATING FOCAL POINT> f1, so he <RESIGNED>.
He thought that he would have to move the queen, however the queen also <DEFENDS> d5 so when she goes to b1 or e1, the Bd5 is <UNDEFENDED>. A simple case of being <OVERWORKED>. Do I sound like notyetagm yet? |

| May-27-08 | | gus inn: Yes you do ! But nothing to be ashamed off . |
|
| May-23-09 | | Hugh the Drover: Grob grinds Flohr's initiative to a halt, proving the superiority of pepper over salt. Black moves h6 for his back-rank air, but White moves g3 for his Luft, beware. He's stung by the grip of Black's Bh3, milling coarse pepper from Tellicherry. |

| Feb-19-13 | | kevin86: This was Flohr's only loss to Grob in eight games! |

 | | perfidious: <Alphastar> You've got to remember that a diagram is needed after every move as well; your portrayal above is bang on, though! |

 | | OhioChessFan: White missed the best defense. But with the drafty King, I think it's a stretch to say White is winning. |

| Aug-21-14 | | posoo: "Grobeling on da flohr."
POSOO SAID IT |

 | | offramp: Good pun, Posoo. Not sure if there's been a Flohr/floor pun before for GOTD. |
|
| Aug-30-14 | | morfishine: The 'O' in 'Grob' is long, as in 'obituary', which is where this pun ends up ***** |

 | | NM JRousselle: What Flohr likely missed was Bg1 and not Kh1. In my experience, the most difficult moves to find are retreating moves, especially along a diagonal. In 1963 Fischer gave a simul in New Orleans. One of his losses was game where he overlooked a simple bishop retreat. |
|
| Aug-30-14 | | kevin86: How sad! Btw, the book does mention white's escape- check again, it might be a footnote. |

Sokolsky vs Flohr, 1953 |

| Aug-30-14 | | posoo: LOL morfoos, NOBODY calls it da GROBE any more than people say "ALYOKIN" I bet you call it meheeco too lililo |

| Aug-30-14 | | Tim Delaney: <OhioChessFan: White missed the best defense. But with the drafty King, I think it's a stretch to say White is winning.> The win is difficult, but I believe it's there. If black attempts to defend the f7 pawn passively, White wins the b7 pawn. Black cannot take his queen out of play with Qf1+ without giving up the f7 pawn via be6. Eventually, with careful play, White can bring his king toward the center and mobilize the Kingside pawns. Granted, Black has drawing chances, but I believe white can prevail. But as you imply, it's not a walk in the park for White. |

| | adamico: <Francio> <Offramp> Also, this GOTD pun relates to the Flohr variation of the Ruy Lopez: Kasparov vs Karpov, 1986 |

Bxd4 Qxd4 36. Bxb7 a5 37. a3 g6> and Black will hold the draw (+0.23). |

| May-07-16 | | thegoodanarchist: <TGA> likes the pun! This is the first time I've seen it because when this was GOTD I had just moved to Oregon and was trying to get all of my household goods unpacked and set up in the new apartment. Didn't have time for cg.com for a few days. |
|
| May-30-22 | | Aminda: What about 26. Kh1? |
|
| May-30-22 | | Aminda: Oups. Just read the post of FSR in 2014. In any case, it seems that Flohr, who was in the 1930's and 40's a very strong GM, gave up a little early. It might have been a draw. |
