Apr-05-05		Theoryhack: With both sides losing tempi (N-f6-d5-f6, B-c4-b5) I wouldnt be suprised if this transposed into other minatures a move down. This trap is very common in scandinavian minatures, one way or another.

Dec-21-08		Domdaniel: I fell for it once in the Nimzowitsch Defence: 1.e4 Nc6 2.d4 d5 3.Nc3 dxe4 4.d5 Ne5 5.f3 exf3 6.Nxf3 Bg4?? and you can guess the rest...

Dec-21-08		whiteshark: <6...Bg4> was a TN, if it's any comfort to you...

Dec-21-08		Domdaniel: I haven't seen it in any database, but I later found it in a book. As something to avoid, naturally.

Dec-21-08		HFBA: <al wazir: 10...a6 11. c7+ (11. cxb7+ axb5 12. bxa8=Q Qxa8 13. Kxd1 Qxb2) axb5 12. cxd8=Q+ Rxd8 13. Nxb5 Nd5 14. c4 (14. Kxd1? Nc3+! 15. Ke1 Rd1#) f6 15. Kxd1 Nc3+ 16. Kc2 Nxb5 16. Nf3 Nd6. White is up one (1) pawn. Where's the win?> If I'm not mistaken 13. Nxd1 is possible.

Dec-21-08		al wazir: <HFBA>: You're not mistaken. Thanks.

Dec-23-08		patzer of patzers: What does this have to do with salivation?

Feb-07-09		Justawoodpusher: <patzer of patzers> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pavlov...

Feb-17-09		patzer of patzers: <Justawoodpusher> Ah. Thank you. ...But now I can't find out why I even cared in the first place! Did this used to be GOTD, and the pun a saliva-related one?

Feb-17-09		swarmoflocusts: Shameful! A player named Dragos not playing the Dragon? If I was named Scandanavios...

Feb-17-09		patzer of patzers: Oh, whoops, it was from the Present Hunt, wasn't it? Sorry.
