  sevenseaman: <Dom> What a wonderful limerick there; so apt! The pun treating it as a "Problem" is also droll.

  An Englishman: Good Evening: Anyone else wondering if this is a composed game? Something about the time of year brings out the paranoia in me.
Apr-01-12  Qweenlover: A fantastic final position
Apr-01-12  shishio71: Memebase references on ChessGames? I LOVE IT!
Apr-01-12  Qweenlover: A double check with both checking pieces are in Knight's fork. A mating pattern.
Apr-01-12  Qweenlover: Is Puck a Shakespearian Charactor
Apr-01-12  offramp: Is this game really fifty years old? I think it looks like one of those internet one-minute games with two screen names.
Apr-01-12  dumbgai: At least this year we got an interesting game on April 1, and not some dumb 3-move crap like Keene-NN and Schiller-NN.
Apr-01-12  reilouco: Best. Pun. Ever.

The game has been in the database for 8 years. To have planted it just for today would really have been playing the long game <(unlike our two players!)>.

Apr-01-12  Llawdogg: Wow! A troll did a good thing. Go Troll!

  SuperPatzer77: Hey, chessfolks! Today is April Fool's Day!! Puck is for ice hockey games. Puck isn't a part of the chess game. LOL LOL.

Way to go, Troll!!!

  Memethecat: Whites 7Bf4 is obviously a mistake, a better continuation is 7. Ne4 Bb8 8. Qxd8+ Kxd8 9. Nxc5 Nf6 10. Bg5 Ke7 11. O-O-O h6 12. Bf4 Neg4 13. Bxb8 Rxb8 14. Nh3 b6 15. Re1+ Be6 with a slight advantage & a better chance of controlling the squares beneath the bridge.
Apr-01-12  Qxf7: Queenlover: Puck was the main character in A Midsummer Night's Dream.

Also...

Y U NO PLAY GOOD MOVES???

Apr-01-12  Penguincw: Wow. White got fooled, sort of.

  SuperPatzer77: <sleepyirv: For those not aware of internet memes, this is a reference to the "troll face." Google it if you like.>

<sleepyirv> Yeah, Troll's face is scary-looking!!

Chessfolks, if you don't believe us, you try to click on "Troll" on the top of this page "Puck vs Troll". You'll take a look at the lovely picture of Troll

LOL LOL - (Psst, don't scream when you see that Troll cartoon - OK?)
