Oct-29-06		sneaky pete: The finest hour of the Corn Stalk Defence.

Oct-29-06		Open Defence: white surprisingly never tries to exploit the b5 square...

Oct-31-11		YoungEd: Ware are the good puns?

Oct-31-11		Oceanlake: Or roll up the king's side.

Oct-31-11		An Englishman: Good Evening: It's interesting to speculate at what point had Black recovered from his own opening and taken the advantage. His blockade of the passed e-pawn with 23...Ne6 and the ensuing undermining of its supporting pawns would have impressed Nimzowitsch, esp. if Nimzo had played the game himself.

Oct-31-11		MatrixManNe0: Anyone else notice the opening's ECO? Fitting.

Oct-31-11		rilkefan: Should have gone with Solomon Grundy for Halloween, e.g. Buried on Sunday".

Oct-31-11		HeMateMe: Kongress? Is that like in the movie where Russia took over the United States?

Oct-31-11		whiteshark: Anyone a-ware of the winning move <37.Ne6!>? click for larger view

Oct-31-11		Pantagruel: Well said, Englishman, especially your closing thought. Even Nimzo himself would crack a smile. YoungEd: Note today's player of the day.

Oct-31-11		knighterrant999: Grundy lost this game, but I believe he tied for first with Captain George MacKenzie in this tournament, necessitating a playoff.

Oct-31-11		kevin86: Black was "none the worst for ware" after his first move.

Oct-31-11		moi: <MatrixManNe0: Anyone else notice the opening's ECO? Fitting.> lol well done ;)
