Nov-16-05		WannaBe: If black retreats the Bishop, 29.Rd7+ Kf8 30. Qxf7#

Nov-16-05		MatedStan: The same theme goes for 28... Bxc5 and if 28...Qxb5 29. cxd6+ Rxd6 30 Rxd6 loses a rook i believe

Nov-16-05		weary willy: Would you believe it ... once again I don't understand the punny caption. Don't tell me it's a reference to that favourite US brand, "Ol' Mother Brinck-Claussen's kosher dills", or this variation of the sicilian is sometimes known as the pickle or there was a 70s chart hit "Brinck a little sunshine to this pickled heart of mine" or ...

Nov-16-05		An Englishman: Good Evening: The title refers to a brand of pickle named Classen or Klaussen or something like that. Remarkable sacrifice by Gligo: after ...Qxd6, all of White's remaining pieces are undeveloped and he is also uncastled!

Nov-16-05		tpstar: <chessgames.com> Please mind the posting guidelines about "No advertising" - ;>D Good game.

Nov-16-05		Saruman: <tpstar> By mentioning that on the forum you bring even more attention to that advert =)

Nov-16-05		tpstar: <Saruman> Then again, perhaps they should request due compensation for the plug. I'm sure they'd relish the income. :p

Nov-16-05		ughaibu: What advert?

Nov-16-05		EmperorAtahualpa: LOL <chessgames.com> nice pun!

Nov-16-05		MaxxLange: What on Earth is "Old Sicilian - Open"? Looks like a Sveshnikov from here.

Nov-16-05		DanRoss53: Nice lesson for Black. Even better for White would have been: 22. d7 b8 <(if 22... xd7, then 23. d5+ d6 24. xf7+ d8 25. fd1 d4 26. c5 e7 27. d5+)> 23. xc6 f5 24. d5 e7 25. a8 b6 26. xf7 xa8 27. e8+ c7 28. xa8 xb5 29. cxb5 xd7 30. c6+

Nov-16-05		weary willy: <<Claussen's Kosher Dills> http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B... Need we say more?> Did you make that up?? (because I certainly did)

Nov-16-05		kevin86: White gave up a piece to gain three connected passed pawns-dirt cheap!! Funny,I recently mentioned pickles in the game-Alekhine vs Vasic---good minds think alike?! Maybe it's pickle week-tomorrow will be a dill-y lol.

Nov-17-05		DeepBlade: Gligoric is IM right? What is the other guy actually? Kinda funny to see the lone Rook in the corner in the final position...

May-30-07		wolfmaster: < Gligoric is an IM> <What is the other guy actually> That is funny!
