| notsodeepthought: Finally! It's been a while since we've had a good pun for the game of the day. Now I'll take a look to see if the game is any good too... |

| Calculoso: The modus operandi of one of my favorite data structures, the stack! My computer science teacher would be proud. |

| The Backward Pawn: Oh man, calculoso im glad im not the only one whose first thought was a stack.....damn engineering |

| Skylark: This to me is simply a good example of how not to play the Slav. |

| noone2: How about 32 ...b4 since the R cannot take - 33 Q:b4 Qg5 and offhand I don't see anything better than 34 f4 returning the p. |

| catfriend: Don't worry you stack-lovers:P
I'm in your ranks too, and the pun just shouts <stack!!!> out loud:)
Pity you don't have players called <Firstin>... They don't like queues out there, now do they? |

| mjk: This sure doesn't look like a good way for Black to treat his Queen's Bishop or make use of White's backward d-Pawn. V Iotov vs K Rusev, 2004 looks a lot better. |

| Wild Bard: Black seemed fascinated by his ability to make threats in this game, a familiar fault at my own level but surprising from a stronger player. Between moves 15 - 23 or so, black goes all out in his quest, sending his pawns sailing forth and leaving an awful lot of weaknesses in his wake. Pretty optimistic of him to figure that his "threats" were allowing him to build up a K-side attack with gain of time. As soon as he runs out of immediate threats, look at how fast and total his collapse was! |

| kevin86: "Last in,first out"-is backwards.It should be "First in,last out". I believe it deals with firefighters and what they should do in case of a fire. Mr. Lastin led with his pawns-like oxer leads with his chin. Every pawn move causes a weakness-lack caused several. In addition,every pawn move means that a piece can't develop and enter the battle. So white is able to attack,while black is condemned to defend-feebly though it may be. Note,obviously some pawns need to be moved to open up lines for development but,when it done beyond three moves or so,weakness far outnumbers strength. |

what's a stack? |

| AdrianP: <Kevin86> "Last in, first out" is the right way around - it's programming terminology. It describes the usual operation of a "stack". |

| patzer2: "Last in First out (LIFO): A method of valuing inventory in which the items acquired last are treated as the ones sold first." P.S. That's the reason the oldest milk is at the front of the shelf in your grocery store, while the fresher milk is towards the back. |

| Granite: A stack is simply information that's stored in a 'last in first out' manner no matter what that information is. Basically the idea is that when you add new information it 'pushes' the old information to the front of the stack. A simple example would be somthing like a call center queue where you want the first person in the queue to be served before everyone else. Naturally this is a very commmon structure in computer programming, much like the 'pin' is a common structure in chess. :) |

| patzer2: <27.g3?!> White has played well up until this move, slowly building his advantage. However, it would seem that this move nearly let's Black back in the game with the potential 27...Rd7!? =. More solid perhaps was 27.b4!? . <27...Re7?!> Perhaps Black missed an opportunity to equalize with 27...Rd7!? 28.Nb3 Re7 29.f4 gxf3 30.Qxf3 e5 31.Qf2 e4 32.Bg2 Be6 33.Rxf8+ Qxf8= <31...Rd8?> Maybe Black missed an opportunity to equalize with 31...Rd7! 32.Bg2 e4 33.Nb3 Qxc3 34.bxc3 Rd3= <33...Rc7?!> It would seem Black needed to try 33...Re6 34.Bxb5 Rxb6 35.cxb6 Rd5 36.Bc6 Rc5 37.Qb3 Rxc6 38.b7 Bxb7 39.Qxb7+ Ne7 40.Rxe5 Kf6 41.Re2 Rc1+ 42.Kg2 Qd8 43.h3 Qd5+ 44.Qxd5 Nxd5 45.hxg4 fxg4 46.f3 h5 47.Ne4+ Kg6 48.Nf2 gxf3+ 49.Kxf3 Rb1 with drawing chances. <35...Be6?> This move loses, but the alternative 35...Rf8!? 36.Rd6 Bd7 37.Bxd7 Rxd7 38.Rxd7 Qxd7 39.Nd2 Qd4 40.Qxd4 exd4 41.b4 also looks to be a win for White. White's <36. Rxe5!> initiates a winning double attack after 36...Nxe5 37. Qxe5+ Kf8 (37...Kf7 38.Rxe6 Qxe6 39.Qxc7+ Qe7 40.Bc4+ Kf6 41.Qxe7+ Kxe7 42.Na5 Kd7 43.b4  assures White a winning passed pawn) 38. Rxe6!, threatening the Queen or a quick mate after 38...Qg7?? (38...Rd1+ 39.Kg2 Qf7 40.Qh8+ Qg8 41.Qf6+ Qf7 42.Re8#) 39. Re8+ Rxe8 40. Qe8#. |

| hypermodern: There were alot of good examples on pinning pieces this game ...28 e5 ouch!, ...35 Be6 I think attack mode at ...27 f4
I was wondering when the kingside stampede was gonna happen |

| alyoshakaramazov: <kevin86> No, "Last in, first out" is an accurate pun: its an accounting term refering to one method of attributing the cost of items that a merchant is holding for resale. I don't get it completely, but I've been spending most my days studying for the bar exam, which requires some knowledge of commercial law. Blah. At least I get to check out chessgames.com for my study breaks. |

| acirce: What are you talking about? Computers and stuff? The pun is clearly referring to Swedish labor law. :-) |

| Elrathia Kingi: Whatever the pun means, it sure left a Lastin impression on all of us. |

| kevin86: Computers,accounting,Swedish Labor law-WOW! what a versitile phrase! |
|

|
| patzer2: <acirce> Never though about labor laws that lay off the most recently hired workers first as being "last in first out," but in a strange way it makes sense. Of course selling the oldest milk
acquired first (at least on the accounting books) is actually an example of "first in first out (FIFO)." Of course the way you manage the inventory versus the way you account for it do not necessarily reflect the same meanings for these term (LIFO & FIFO). |
