| Mar-01-05 | | Halfpricemidge: A nice king-hunt; white should've moved 12. Bc4 to prevent black's mate threat 14...Ba6 15...Bh6#. |
 |
| Mar-25-05 | | Halfpricemidge: White gobbles a Rook and Bish 19. Kxf7 21. Kxg7 but to no avail. |
|
| May-11-05 | | RookFile: Nice game. |

 | | TheAlchemist: Kurz came up short in this one. |
|
| Sep-16-05 | | Runemaster: "Mr Kurz, he dead!" |
|
| Nov-08-05 | | CeeFoR: Beautiful |
|
| Nov-08-05 | | bishopawn: A thing of beauty is a joy forever, to quote Keats. White's 10th, Nxc6+, didn't help his cause. But the Treybal sacrifices steal the show. |

 | | Phony Benoni: I suggested the pun, but maybe "The Kurz of the Walking Dead" might have been better. At least we won't have to argue about whether Black should have mated by castling. |
|
| Nov-18-11 | | rilkefan: Kurzschluss (short-circuit, quick conclusion) would be a pretty nice pun if we were speaking German. "Trials and Treybalations" also springs to mind. And - well, the original is better anyway. |

 | | Robed.Bishop: I still enjoy playing the King's Gambit because of the wild games that can result. I will also freely admit that I lose quite a few of the games. |

 | | chessicle: <Phony Benoni> Ignoring the illegality, castling here wouldn't be checkmate, because the king needs to cover e7. Though perhaps this is also part of your point. |

 | | HeMateMe: Kurz was the out of control Special Forces Colonel played by Marlon Brando in <"Apocolypse Now">. "His men worship him. They'll do anything for him. He's out there alone, without any authority, doing whatever he wants. Your orders are to terminate his command." Martin Sheen: "Terminate....the Colonel"?
"Terminate with extreme prejudice".
Thus, the hunt for Colonel Kurz begins, deep into the bowels of Vietnam. <Terminated with Extreme Prejudice> might have been a good pun, but only people who saw the great movie would get it. |

| Nov-18-11 | | Madmartigan: Anyone who plays the King's Gambit, but isn't prepared to play the Muzio (5. 0-0!? in the game line) deserves to be punished like this. |
|
| Nov-18-11 | | ThatsTriflin: I prefer "Alas for Bohumir!" Love the discovered checkmate. |

 | | kevin86: White led his attack with his king,that's like a boxing strategy of leading with the chin-especially if you happen to be Jay Leno. lol |
