| Feb-09-10 | | TheaN: <al wazir: After 10...Kc6 white has nothing better than 11. Bxd8 Bh6+ 12. Kb1 Rxd8. Material is even, though black's king has had a bad scare. But that would have spoiled the fun. Nullifidian: <al wazir>
The material may be even, but 10...c6 gives at least as good prospects as taking the queen with 10.Bxd8.> Hm. I have to admit it would have ruined the played combination, still, I do not agree with this being the best move for White, which leaves a good position at most. I think White can abuse his development with: <10.Bb5?! Kc5!? (10....Kb6 11.Bxd8! Bh6 12.Kb1 Rxd8 13.Nd5 Kxb5 14.Nxc7 Kc6 15.Nxa8 and I highly doubt Black has enough compensation here with such terrible development) 11.Rd5 (11.Be3? Kb4 12.a3 Ka5  ) 11....Kb6 (11....Kb4 12.Bxd8 Bh6 13.Kb1 Rxd8 14.a3 Ka5 15.Bxd7  ) 12.Na4 Ka5 13.Bxd8 Bh6 14.Kb1 Rxd8 15.Bxd7 > with similar motives as earlier should give White clear prospects, compared to the immediate Bxd8. |

 | | andrewjsacks: This is the type of game that must be checked for authenticity. |

 | | FSR: Ha! Very cool game. |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | azax: I swear I've seen this game before, at least the series of moves. Unfortunately, I don't have full access to the CG database... |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | rilkefan: Bit surprised the pun wasn't better - "A real hiiding" or "Threw the book at him" spring to mind. Or even "Hit him like a ton of books". |

| | FSR: <azax> The only other game in the database with 4...Ng5 is J Kis vs E Csato, 1993, which took a completely different course and was won by Black. |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | BiteByBits: i think black played a help mate by Kxc4 but thats what happens when you want to risk your king like that... |

 | | AylerKupp: I admire White's self control. He could have taken Black's queen for straight 7 moves and refrained from doing so. |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | Sem: Spoil-the-pun: wasn't his name written Böök and pronounced like 'Euwe'? |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | consul: The pun made me laugh! But i wouldn't laugh thinking about the game. Very interesting also the lines proposed after 10.Kc6. |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | midknightblue: typical book moves. No surprises here. |

 | | HeMateMe: My hero Eero was "booked up", as they say at the Chess Life sales window. |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | APatzer: Black queen not worth taking ! |
|

 | | hedgeh0g: Not sure if any of this was "book" in 1925, but White simply played the most obvious moves after Black blundered in the opening and quickly achieved a won game. |

 | | kevin86: "I am Book-do you read me?" I remember this game from the 1000 Best Short Games of Chess.-by Chernov;I even remember his cute remark on black's last move:look who is checking. Not exactly a Monday puzzle... |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | castledweller: exciting game . . .
Black's queen is left hanging while White chases the king all around the board, attempting to mate without the need to take the queen - a unique and fun game. And it all happens so early on - thx CG. |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | castledweller: one for the books |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | Yerbamate: insane combinations deep |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | Blunderdome: Hmm, I didn't suggest this game for game of the day, but I did make the same pun on Feb 9th, 2010 at Keres vs Book, 1952. |

 | | SuperPatzer77: <Kevin86> Let's say "Book him for checkmate" when mirandizing him. LOL LOL LOL. SuperPatzer77 |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | Lorenzon: wow what a coincidence, I looked at this game yesterday!! |
|
| Jul-14-11 | | WhiteRook48: awesome mating attack, but horrendous pun |
|
| Oct-31-12 | | pablo333: Brilliant play from Book: white appears to have a forced win after the seemingly logical 7... g6 from Hiidenheimo. |
