<OT> yep, I'll attribute that secondary pun meaning to <bubuli>. I had a pun once that had that sort of secondary point but I wasn't aware of it. Sometimes you get lucky.

Feb-16-19  cormier: better is 14...Bxg3 15.hxg3 a5 16.Nf3 Qc7 17.Rd4 Rd8 18.Red1 Ne6 = 0.00 (30 ply)

would have been very unpleasant for black, but putting the queen on a white square was suicidal, as black did on move 27 of

Capablanca vs Golombek, 1939

Also compare black's play in

Capablanca vs M Czerniak, 1939
