 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: Chessgames, your puns are getting better! As for the game itself, I have doubts about Black's entire opening concept, especially 8...Nc4, but the attack is quite interesting. Black falls apart pretty quickly after 26...Kd7; would 26...Nc4 have worked better? |

| Oct-01-04 | | checkpat: <vonKrolock> Salman sounds like
salmon if pronounced nasally
enough... |
|
| Oct-01-04 | | vonKrolock: <checkpat> thanks for the hint - but i'm still searching for the point... |
|
| Oct-01-04 | | Jesuitic Calvinist: <vonKrolock> I hope I am not telling you what you already know, but "salmon" is a sort of fish, rather popular eating in sandwiches. "Leftover salmon" would therefore be fish that was not eaten and might perhaps be thrown away. "Thrown away" is a possible description of what happened to Salman the player in this game. I think that explains all the levels of meaning in today's pun. |

|
| Oct-01-04 | | vonKrolock: thanks <Jesuitic C.> - yes, off course that salmon is universally known as a sort of fresh water fish - leftover was misterious for me (and not in my old Oxford Advanced Dic.) but whith Your explanation the enlightment came whithout further researches |
|
| Oct-01-04 | | Whitehat1963: What a clever finish! |
|
| Oct-01-04 | | kevin86: All this talk about the fish-and not much on the game Black is lost:If 32...♔c7 33 ♕e7+ is crushing and if 32...♔c8 33 ♕xh8 ♖xh8 34 g7 wins a rook |

| Oct-01-04 | | Morty: I am quite certain that "Leftover Salmon" is a band, perhaps in the genre of "jam bands". That is possibly where the pun was derived from, am I correct in my assertion chessgames.com? |

 | | chessgames.com: Morty, yes you solved the mystery. One of our admins likes the band Leftover Salmon so they got a little self-indulgent with the pun. www.leftoversalmon.com |
|
| Oct-04-04 | | checkpat: Gee! I naively thought that the implication was that Salman was
left behind by Gulko.... |
|
| Oct-05-04 | | Jesuitic Calvinist: I have learnt something (and shown my age a bit, I expect). I had never heard of that band - or of the Iron Maiden song apparently referred to in today's game of the day pun. Chess is a young person's game today, and a good thing too! |

| Oct-08-04 | | checkpat: <chessgames.com> Can you find a game whose caption would be
"blue oyster cult"? |
|
| Oct-08-04 | | percyblakeney: Maybe they could try something with Deep Blue Oyster Cult... |
