May-04-05   sergeidave: Were these two brothers or something?
May-04-05   TheSlid: http://groups.msn.com/baysholiss/bi...

Would suggest that W Wall is Bill Wall's father.

May-04-05   schnarre: Makes sense (keeps with the father vs son tradition--Morphy, Capablanca, etc...).
Jun-26-06   prinsallan: Very fine attack.
Jun-26-06   Runemaster: "Wall and Wall, you're just another brick in the all."
Apr-11-07   Fast Gun: 4.Bb4+ is a pointless move: 5.Ba5 was weak, the bishop is needed for the defence of the kingside, not stuck out on a limb at a5: 7.O-O is a bad move too, though Nf6+ was not an obvious sacrifice the first time I looked at the position, of course if 8.Kh8 then 9.Qh5 wins at once, in fact after 7.O-O black is already lost after only seven moves!! A nice little coup at the end with the
bishop sacrifice to finish the game:

  tpstar: More Wall jokes = B Wall vs W Wall, 1969

Nice miniature.

Apr-11-07   chessamateur: I've got it chessgames, If its GOTD, its gotta be "Wall to Wall Coverage".
Apr-11-07   rozumim: Q: What did one Wall say to the other?
A: Meet you at the corner!

(the joke that caused no end of mirth to its teller in a certain J.D. Salinger short story)

Apr-11-07   RookFile: In this case, the corner was at h8.
Nov-04-07   syracrophy: Fast. Cute. Simple. Amazing!

  Phony Benoni: Almost a duplicate of this one: Blom vs Jensen, 1934
Nov-04-07   sanyas: This is a pattern to remember.

  chessgames.com: Rejected pun (although certainly no worse) : "Wall to Wall Carpeting"
Nov-04-07   pawnofdoom: You could always use that pun for B Wall vs W Wall, 1969, as that game is also pretty amazing

  Wade Keller: Perhaps 9. Bxh7+ would have been more forced.
Nov-04-07   D4n: Ouch...that was quick.

  kevin86: Another pun:Welcome to Wall Street

or-Do I have the right site? I'm looking for chessgames.com and got the WALL STREET JOURNAL.

Mr. Gorbachev-bring down this wall!

Nov-11-07   Judah: <Q: What did one Wall say to the other? A: Meet you at the corner!>

Yes, "Meet you at the corner" would be a great pun for this game. Can puns be retroactively changed?

Feb-29-08   D.Observer: A wall falls on another wall.
Dec-10-08   WhiteRook48: ...Qd7????????????
Feb-27-09   WhiteRook48: 7.... 0-0??????
Silly blunder
Jun-30-09   kooley782: Bill Wall is my chess coach's chess coach. Very wonderful tactician. My style is very aggressive and tactical as well.
