| Thuellin: Unfortunately, "Hou" is not pronounced like "who," which ruins quite a few puns. "Hou Hou Hou, Merry Christmas!" |

| BadKnight: Deadly pun! |

| HeMateMe: Its a great pun. [Hou Knew?!] |

| dTal: I think it was very well played by Hou Yifan though. Calculated the tactics nicely. Not at all trivial. |

| RandomVisitor: 3 minutes per move - perhaps 11...Nc5, 12...Be7, 14...fxe5 or 15...fxe5 were improvements for black. Yifan Hou (2527) - Nigel Short (2645)

| Anthony1: the main thing I learned is its a bad idea to be a greedy pig in the Ruy with 4...Nxe4
By move 9 all the lines are open for White with development lead and a safe king position.
Meanwhile Black is constricted, doubled pawns and King in the center. That's a poisoned pawn for sure. |
|

|
| RandomVisitor: 8...Nb7 seems to be the cause of many of Black's problems. 8...Nf5 might be better. |
|

| DrCurmudgeon: <mistreaver: yeah Nigel loses to 13 year old girl.> Yeah, if it had been a 13 year old boy he wouldn't have been upset. But a girl? Why, he should give up chess! P.S. I'm being sarcastic. But don't mind me. I'm old, I'm tired, and my feet hurt. |

| dumbgai: Short picked a strange opening. |
|
| Sep-29-09 |
| WhiteRook48: 4...Nxe4 is actually a line played thousands of times, many with wins for black |

 |
| zdigyigy: <whiterook48> Korchnoi, in fact, plays open Lopez's as black and does just fine. |

| eternaloptimist: very funny pun :D |
|
| Sep-29-09 |
| dumbgai: <WhiteRook48> By "strange opening" I meant Nb7. |

Well done. :-D |

| gilbav: <Hou is responsible for this pun?> Exactly. I saw this pun (with an added "!") in the Pun Voting Booth. So, are puns from there used without attributing it to the submitter? |
