Dec-05-14  MNW: This game is just too complicated for me to even attempt to analyze - but maybe that's why it's game of the day. Nice pun, but somewhat forced in my opinion. Nice game Irina!

  al wazir: Why not just play 19. Nf7? It would have avoided the complications, which never looked like helping white.
Dec-05-14  RookFile: This game was as good as over when white played Qb1.

Dec-05-14  morfishine: In the Slav, 3...dxc4 followed by 4...b5 can evolve into positions offering creative play by both sides with no time for any monkey business

  Penguincw: From move 18 to move 34 (17 moves), black could've taken the rook on a1, but didn't. However, the rook was still trapped in the corner, so black didn't really have any reason to rush.

Dec-05-14  kia0708: interesting game, funny title :-)
Dec-05-14  kevin86: A great finish: triple pawns, and rook CAN beat a queen!

22. Nxf8 deserves a ? imho. I don't get the exchange of that wonderful N for an inactive B. And it looks worse considering W next move.

Dec-05-14  Louben: What against 28.Qd1?
Dec-05-14  FICSwoodpusher: Could someone please post the pgn. I cannot see the board nor view the pgn.
Dec-05-14  FICSwoodpusher: Nevermind, after trying view pgn and save pgn I managed to view this game by clicking on print pgn.
Dec-05-14  celtrusco: <CustardTart: Candy krush>Yes. Poisoned candy krush! Excelent pun.
