Jan-24-13 | | Shams: The pun explained, for non-fans of Hayao Miyazaki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Nei... |
|
Jan-24-13 | | weisyschwarz: Non-fans of who?
What is wrong with "House of Todor"? |
|
Jan-24-13 | | PaulLovric: Like First...........lol |
|
Jan-24-13 | | PaulLovric: It's not an early resign |
|
Jan-24-13 | | Abdel Irada: I wonder if Todor Todorov was inspired by my friendly 1980s rival Maroth de Marothy. I am convinced that the main reason I lost my sole tournament game against him was that I hypnotized myself by allowing his name to become a mantra. (Of course, playing out a 124-move draw the night before probably didn't help either.) |
|
Jan-24-13 | | ounos: 20. bxa6 and for example 20. ...Rxb6 21. Ra7+ and Rc7, the two connected passers decide Pretty rare to enter such a late endgame as soon as move 20 |
|

 | | HeMateMe: I thought it was a reference to the famous russian author Tyador Todorevsky. |
|
Jan-24-13 | | morfishine: What a great game. White is breaking in through 2 doors |
|
Jan-24-13 | | tommy boy: The pun maybe also refers to common border between Bulgaria (Todorov) and Serbia (Kovacevic) |
|
Jan-24-13 | | chessthomas: what about 17. - Bd4,
attacking Ra1, with a piece up for black.
am I missing something here? |
|

 | | perfidious: <chessthomas> On 17....Bd4, White keeps on coming with 18.a6 and 19.a7, whether or not his opponent snatches the rook. |
|
Jan-24-13 | | chessthomas: now that is <perfidious>!
thank you very much! |

Jan-24-13 | | goodevans: "It's not an early resign"
Resign - verb
Resignation - noun
This website may be helping to keep interest in chess alive and well but it's murdering the English language. |
|
Jan-24-13 | | bachiller: <goodevans>, there are quite a few of us, visitors of this site, whose mother tongue is not English. That might explain the misuse of it, though it is no justification. I really appreciate posts like yours, helping us to improve our English (kind of a mighty beast we have to fight with). Thanks. |
|
Jan-24-13 | | Castleinthesky: <FSR> The same director, Miyazaki, created "Castle In the Sky" a classic animated film, hence the pun in my handle. |
|
Jan-24-13 | | kevin86: White's pawn advantage will result in a new queen soon. |
|

 | | TheAlchemist: Excellent pun. Almost all of Miyazaki's catalogue is well worth the watch. |
|
Jan-24-13 | | waustad: "House of Todor" makes a lot more sense to me, but I know a lot more about the War of the Roses than I do about anime. Sorry, geezer alert ;) |

Jan-24-13 | | nalinw: Nice to hear from other Miyazaki fans on the site |

Well-spoken. |
|
Jan-25-13 | | goodevans: <sfm> Displaying an interest in something other than chess is perverse and narrow-minded? |
|
Jan-25-13 | | goodevans: <weisyschwarz> <bachiller> Point taken.
I can imagine that it is a difficult language for those whose mother tongue is not English. Then there are those for whom it is their first language but who have no desire to cherish it. |
|
Jan-29-13 | | newzild: I still don't get the "pun". Todorov and Kovacevic are not neighbours. |
|
Jan-30-13 | | IndigoViolet: The puns this week have been crap! |
