 | | Penguincw: Hmm, according to Google, "Papa Rellena" is a popular food in Latin America. It is Spanish for "stuffed potatoes". (I know, crappy explanation) |
|
Jan-06-16 | | technique: "10th open"? is this the full name of the tournament? |
|
Jan-06-16 | | thathwamasi: Why is the final move in the score not indicating the mate with 34. Qd8#? Is it not a mate? Am I missing something? |
|
Jan-06-16 | | thathwamasi: One for the picturesque positions collection... |
|
Jan-06-16 | | Once: <thathwamasi> It's a techie thing. The CG annotations don't show any symbols - + for check, # for mate or x for capture. |
|
Jan-06-16 | | waustad: <thathwamasi> Chessviewer Deluxe II does show check and mate symbols. It may depend on your chosen PGN viewer. |

Jan-06-16 | | swordfish: Agree with Phony Benoni - really interesting game with some tactics which may be useful for us amateurs. |

Jan-06-16 | | kevin86: The array of white pieces on the h-file and g8 is quite amusing...black's one move suicide is less so. |
|
Jan-06-16 | | kevin86: actually, black has no way out of the mating net...it just looks like suicide, really it IS murder. |
|
Jan-06-16 | | thegoodanarchist: <kevin86: actually, black has no way out of the mating net...it just looks like suicide, really it IS murder.> Right. If Black prevents 34.Qe7 or Qd8 with 33...Re8, then 34.Qf6 decides the issue. |

Jan-06-16 | | Shams: I like the pun quite a bit. One of the usual culprits no doubt. |
|
Jan-06-16 | | mruknowwho: I think I actually like 25...Nd3 over 25...Na6, even though it drops a pawn. It interferes with the things that White would like to do. |
|
Jan-06-16 | | morfishine: Sorry <Shams> There is no pun to "like" because there is no pun in the first place, and in also this case, we are not even treated to our usual lame play-on-word as expected from this illustrious peanut gallery; All we have is a vague reference to a popular latino dish featuring stuffed potatoes Stuffed Potatoes! What a joke as there, usual, NO connecting reference necessary to generate an ACTUAL PUN Neither player is from Latino origin nor is either one a potato, so all we are left with is NOTHING except a stuffed potato Which is about par for the course around here
Next...

Jan-06-16 | | Shams: <morfishine> You have to know that at this point people are actively rooting for bad puns just to see you go off like Vesuvius. |

Jan-07-16 | | Abdel Irada: Sometimes the defender ends up like fried liver. Sometimes, as in this game, he is converted to stuffed potatoes. ∞ |
