| rya: did you just compare yourself to RJF?
Yea, your coffee house ego wreck is similar to Bobby, and your opinion on the pirc valid. Resign immediately following the decision to play e5 in the pirc. the funny looking orange beard guy took your ego to breakfast with that opening. |

| Holden: <WannaBe> Your pun? That's pretty cool to have members writing the puns. I thought it was inventive, actually using both the player's first & last name in the pun. In case anybody isn't familiar with it, it's a song that goes like this: Michael, row your boat ashore,
Hallelujah.
Michael, row your boat ashore,
Hallelujah.
Here's a link to someone's attempt to research the origin of this old tune: http://www.straightdope.com/mailbag... |

| Sneaky: Wannabe, this is your pun? Amazing work. A pun waiting to happen. Negro spirituals, as they are called, are a wonderful and uniquely American form of music. Maybe tomorrow we'll have "Dem bones dem bones, dem dry bones... the leg bone connected to the Kneebone ..." ;-) |

| Cryptic: Seems odd black can not save either Knight on move 31. I guess thats what makes the sac starting <25. Bxf7+> so profound !? |

| OhioChessFan: After quickly playing through the game, I have to question b4. If Black doesn't want to play bxc4, why did he bother to play Qb7 in the first place? |

| backyard pawn: <Holden> Michael Rohde the boat ashore. Brilliant! Maybe he was rowing to Rohde Island. :+) |

| Jim Bartle: I read this pun yesterday in other kibitzing. Felt so envious, since I'd seen the name a hundred times and the obvious pun never occurred to me. |

| paulalbert: This game won my brilliancy prize in the 1988 US Championship, Michael Rohde's 3rd straight win. Danny Kopec and Lubomir Ftacnik in their book on the Albert Brilliancy Prizes consider Yasser's 14... b5 as the major strategic error. Michael's 20. c5 is the key strategic move clearing the way for Nc4. Paul Albert |

Good call. |

| kevin86: If you take the beginnings of two songs,both of a religious nature you can do this: Hark,the Herald angel sing...
Michael rowed the boat a shore.
You get:Harkelroad the boat a-shore.
I have some friends whose last name is Harkelroad-they liked it :) lol A queen is vastly better than two pieces-even without pawns it is a struggle to draw from the pieces' side. With two knights or two bishops,however,the pieces can form a barrier to keep the opposing king out. With the different pieces,the queen is far better off. |

| randomsac: Lovely combination starting with the double bishop sac. I love how black's queen is constantly in peril afterwards. |

| kevin86: A nice win for white;the queen almost always wins vs two pieces-except when there is no pawns on the board. "On the Rohde Again"
"Rohde Island" |

| bengalcat47: You beat me to the Rohde's Scholar pun! The reference to "Harkelroad" reminds me of female tennis player Ashley Harkleroad (very lovely blonde!). |

| lzromeu: Move 28 was a blunder or an error in material calculation? |

| Mulyahnto: <lzromeu: Move 28 was a blunder or an error in material calculation?> It was neither. (Neither black or white blundered on move 28) In black's case, how does one prevent 29. Nf7+ Kg8 30. Nxh6+ Kf8 31. Qg8+ Ke7 32 Qf7#? Only by preventing Nf7+ by playing the text move 28. ... Ng5. Moves like 28. ... Qc7 29. Nf7+ forces 29. ... Qxf7, losing the queen. In white's case Qb3 is the best move because it vacates f7 for the N to give check on the next move and it protects Rd1. |
