| Samagonka: I need to see this game over and over again to establish whether white is a big patzer or whether black was just lucky to win the game. |

| tpstar: I tried to enter "gg" and "GG" in the Pun Contest for a game by Gioachino Greco but both were rejected. Clearly the Administrators have a decisive advantage over us in this department. :-) This one originally came around as "G-G-G-G-Good Game" (or something like that) referring to the five g Pawns, then I entered "Mazel Tov" instead. gg |

| hedgeh0g: Very strange g-file arrangement. Very fun game! |

| TheTamale: White succeeded in his strategy of giving Black doubled pawns. Unfortunately, Black was able to give White tripled pawns and thus eke out a victory after a tremendous battle. The tide of this game reminded me of a pro wrestling match. |

| PierreTheLion: This almost looks like a composition! I usually never like minis as GOTD but this was a brilliant exception! |

| psmith: According to Jan Pinski, The Two Knights' Defense, 4...Nxe4 should be met with 5. Bxf7+ Ke7 6. d4! with advantage. Analysis with Fritz 5.32 seems to confirm this. |

| Thrajin: Much better pun that the one I would have suggested: "g-g-g-g G-UNIT!" |

| YouRang: A good chess player would play <13...h6> to attack the knight at g5, because that knight can't move (it's the only thing preventing the queen-winning fork, ...Nf3+). A great chess player looks deeper and sees the consequences of taking the knight, opening the rook file with mating possibilities if g3 is weakened. The difference between the two is worth a spectacular queen-sac mating combination. :-) |

| Capthahn86: Are you kidding me? A much better pun would have been "Mazel Tov!" |

| playground player: If I were White, I would've thought I was winning. |
|

| lzromeu: Forced mate.
The 15th move could be a great puzzle |
|
| Oct-13-09 |
| WhiteRook48: the real White probably did think he was winning |

| FSR: Cool game! I don't recall ever seeing it before, and the mating combination is very unusual. Gotta love that arrangement of pawns on the g-file, too. |

| SamAtoms1980: Hmmm.... "gg" indeed, but it should be more like "ggggg", shouldn't it? Now I'm going to have to find a game where a King gets driven into the heart of the opposing camp, and submit it with "OMGLOLBBQ". |

Very weird game, weird sac, weird ending position. Good GOTD :). |

| fm avari viraf: Of course, White didn't handle the opening so well & ultimately landed himself in miserable state. Black playing imaginatively won with a pretty combination pleasing to all the afficionados. |

| japz12: hey guys! will somebody please explain to me why not Nxf7? I think that will be a better line for white. any genius analysis? |
|
Oct-24-09
 |
| pawn to QB4: Hi japz - I must confess to having played this line once, casual game and alcohol was involved, if that's any excuse. My opponent did play 5.Nxf7. I grovelled out of it with 5...Qf6 with the crude threat of mate; he castled; then 6...Nd6 and rather than play 7.Nxh8 Nxc4 and I should eventually win that knight on h8, he played 7.Nxd6+ Bxd6 and I was doing surprisingly well. |
|
| Oct-24-09 |
| AnalyzeThis: After 5. Nxf7 the best move for black is Qh4 with advantage to black. If 6. g3 then Nxg3 7. fxg3 Qe4+ 8. Qe2 Qxh1+. White does better with 6. 0-0 but then either 6....Bc5 or 6....Nxf2 are promising for black. |

| japz12: thanks guys. i think i might need to look at it again. <AnalyzeThis> ur analyisis is good! |
