Mar-18-06  Confuse: i love games like this where someones winning gets overconfident and loses sight of danger. that happens to me all the time! cockiness is something we should all be careful of. well done mr. schiller
Mar-18-06  itz2000: Eric Shiller, well played ;)

35. Kf1, Qxf2#

Mar-18-06  Jim Bartle: Not only weak Coffey, weak pun.

Let's see more imagination!

Mar-18-06  EmperorAtahualpa: If this is a King's Indian attack, why is it still classified as ECO A00?

My compliments to Mr. Schiller for this excellent game!

Mar-18-06  EmperorAtahualpa: It's kind of funny that with Qxh6, White was digging his own grave. :)
Mar-18-06  backyard pawn: <Jim Bartle>< Not only weak Coffey, weak pun.> Anyone who puns simply appreciates any recognition of his/her efforts. Even groans, or, as I sometimes get, complaints, are reward enough for punners.

Lovely how perfectly the two knights support each other after 28...., Nfg4. Unnecessary for knight protection were the f5 pawn (moved two moves previously) and the Black queen.

Mar-18-06  Jim Bartle: I just didn't think "weak Coffey" was up to cg standards.

On the plus side, they seems to be withholding West vs. Desperado until they can come up with the perfect pun.

Mar-18-06  AlexanderMorphy: yeah the pun have been going downhill lately! but good game nonetheless!
Mar-18-06  notsodeepthought: <Jim Bartle: Not only weak Coffey, weak pun. Let's see more imagination!> How about a win by Tea Bosboom-Lanchava with the pun "Strong Tea"? (yeah, I know, not much of an improvement...)

  kevin86: White must have felt he could be knocked over by a feather at this conclusion.
Mar-18-06  Jim Bartle: Puns always seem obvious afterward, but they aren't so easy to invent. If Coffey wins one, would you say he was percolating?
Mar-18-06  McCool: What should be a pun that's up to cg standards for this game? <Jim Bartle>

  dakgootje: <It's kind of funny that with Qxh6, White was digging his own grave. :) > Yes but the move itself seemed little wrong with, at least i think most of us here wouldnt see any danger in it.

I though that white was stronger until move ~20, though didnt see the danger of black rooks and the half open h-file where the bacl rook was nicely played. Last i think exd5 was just too greedy to be a good move... As <Eatman> already pointed out, i think the white would have been better if it had played h3 instead of exd5...

Mar-18-06  WaxTadpole: As far as today's pun goes, Iced Coffey, maybe?

  Sneaky: One might say that Coffey got creamed.
Mar-18-06  Jim Bartle: There you go, Sneaky. Why can't I think of those?

  PhilFeeley: Who was Coffey anyway?
Mar-18-06  Jim Bartle: I only knew MR. Coffee (Joe DiMaggio).

Mar-18-06  ILoveThisSite: The pun is better if you click on Eric Schiller and see that in his picture he has what appears to be a cup of coffee in front of him.
Mar-18-06  Jim Bartle: Interesting. I'd never made it past Schiller's "death stare" before.
Mar-18-06  backyard pawn: So, in this game, Eric Schiller is the java player!

  kevin86: At one time the LA sports scene had coffee and cream:Coffee-was Paul Coffey of the Kings/Cream-Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.

Strange but Coffey is white while Kareem is black. lol

Jul-02-10  LarsenBentYou: "What's your name?"
"John Coffey Boss. Like the drink, but not spelled the same."

Immortal words from an immortal movie, and the first movie to make me cry.
