May-02-13  vinidivici: good game
May-02-13  ZeejDonnelly: I think the only appropriate comment is "LOL."
May-02-13  ZeejDonnelly: Seriously, though--I think the pun aspect has become more important than the game aspect.
May-02-13  JustAnotherPatzer: I'd be Welling up after getting Bernd like that.
May-02-13  morfishine: White's pawn moves were exquisite

May-02-13  xthred: There's something called Indian Game, Paleface Attack? Who thought that up? Lol

  offramp: White offered a pawn but then took it back.
May-02-13  kevin86: If pawns are the soul of chess,then puns are the soul of this site (or is it,pawns are the sole of this sight)?

"What you mean,WE,paleface". (famous line "spoken" by Tonto when the lone Ranger is surrounded by Indians.

May-02-13  kevin86: Is Welling any relation to SUPERMAN?

  playground player: Let's see... Bob Hope starred in <The Paleface>, a comedy about a dentist in the Old West. Nope, no illumination there.
May-02-13  Gilmoy: Eight little, seven little, six little pawns-to-push ...

The central pawns end up like a KID Sämisch, except White has Nc3 instead of c4, and Black doesn't fianchetto (yet). White gets a good bind both ways without committing: at b5 and h6. <13.g4 14.Ng3> is good in KIA. <13..g6> meekly defends f5, and Black never gets any counterplay.

<23._> is uncanny: every White piece is perfect. Black fights for space and "sacs" the a-file, and then White's two tempi on <16.Kh1 17.Rg1> turn out to be winning. But surely a GM builds a plan around that: <15..Kh8> gave him the idea of Rg1-as-trump -- now he can consider any kind of wild piece-clearing melee that <opens g to g8>, and (not-so-)suddenly Black's K is trapped.

Even the Nc3 is a linchpin at the end, preventing a last-gasp 34..Qxd5+ and Qd1+ to force Qs off.

May-02-13  sshhhh: In the CG opening explorer, 1.d4 Nf6 2.f3 has a pretty good percentage for white (+24=9-20). But in bigger databases with more non-master games (e.g. 365chess.com) it does predictably badly. 2... c5 seems not to be the best reply; after 2... d5 instead, white often either plays 3.e4 as a gambit (with limited returns, it seems) or struggles to make e4 worthwhile at a later stage (without e4, f3 looks pretty silly).
May-02-13  Tired Tim: I like the "Far Side" cartoon ... the Lone Ranger is in the lavatory - Tonto is frantically knocking on the door ... "Quick, quick kemosabe, they're playing the opening music".

Mind you, it's Fanny Mae's Loan Arrangers who got us into this mess
