| Sep-22-11 | | fanofchess82: Tate's knights and great knights. |
|
| Sep-22-11 | | rilkefan: <<hellopolgar>: nice game. i don't quite get the pun though...> Quite a complex and almost poetic one. It presumably refers to the McCartney/Jackson song "Ebony and Ivory", about black/white friendship, using the piano keyboard as metaphor. Tate is African-American, DeFirmian is Caucasian, and they played the black and white pieces here. |

 | | Shams: The pun is a bit saccharine but I'd almost forgotten about this game. I wish this line were just a little more playable for Black. |

| | Shams: <ernie> Indeed it does, with White slightly better whether Black swaps queens or retreats [Shredder]. Killjoy. |
|
| Sep-22-11 | | smirnoff: Why would anybody castle kingside when black already launched an attack there, by advancing his g- and h- pawns and with bishop on d7. I think in this case castling kingside doesn´t mean getting king into safety. |

 | | Richard Taylor: I knew the song but I didn't know that Tate was of the other persuasion... |
|
| Sep-22-11 | | laskerian: The song which was the subject of the pun is EBONY AND IVORY, by Paul Mc Cartney (former member of the Beatles and a superb songwriter-artist in his own right). During the days of the Fab Four, he would inject arrangements into the Beatles songs - even in the instruments he did not usually play for the band (he played bass)- that spoke volumes about his genius. Emory Tate's play in this game was very much like Paul Mc Cartney: brilliant when the occasion so required. |
|
| Sep-22-11 | | laskerian: I am sorry <rilkefan>, I did not see in time that you already identified the title of the song in question. Anyway, we have different interpretations of the pun and I appreciate yours. |

| | twin phoenix: A great game by a friend, Master Tate. Have had the pleasure of being squashed like a bug by him at speed chess several times... in fact Emory is the greatest speed chess player i've ever seen! in a room with inveterate speed players with master playing strengths, he still never lost a game... a priviledge to call him a friend of mine! |
|
| Sep-22-11 | | hellopolgar: <rilkefan> Thanks for explaining the pun! |

 | | scormus: Yes, masterclass by B. It is interesting to look at the CG base and see how many 5 ... Bd7 lines have > 50% win for B. I didn't enjoy things at all if I stumbled into a line with my B on e3 and out popped ... Ng4. Certainly not something I want to repeat. My sympathies with W in this game. |

 | | kevin86: After the rook dominate the back row,the knights deliver the finale. |

| | scormus: <rilkefan ... pun> I didnt know Emory Tate was Afro-American, even better! |
|
| Sep-22-11 | | SirChrislov: ...living in perfect harmony. GM Nick DeFirmian was a +2500 at the time. black was a 2377. |

Quite a complex and almost poetic one. It presumably refers to the McCartney/<Jackson> song "Ebony and Ivory" ***> For the record, McCartney's collaborator on that song was Stevie Wonder. |
|
| Sep-15-12 | | rilkefan: Good point, I must have been a bit confused by "Say Say Say". |
|

 | | perfidious: <rilkefan> Indeed, the other big hit of McCartney at the time, though much different in tempo. |
