  Once: <Nullifidian: I just got done with a shark dissection...>

C'mon, you've got to explain that enigmatic reference!

Are you Damien Hirst, by any chance?

Nov-30-10  Brandon plays: Despite Rybka stating that g6 is the best I disagree. Going down a whole rook loses the game. So, I wouldn't classify that as a blunder. It is the only move that keeps the fight in the game even though it still loses. One can hope that white will blunder and allow black to equalize.

In any case, I hardly think just because Rybka plays a move that the move is the best possible. It depends on who you are playing.

Nov-30-10  Nullifidian: <Once: C'mon, you've got to explain that enigmatic reference!>

No enigmatic reference intended. I'm a biology major and I literally just got done with a dissection of _Squalus acanthias_, the spiny dogfish shark, in my zoology class.

For those of you lucky enough to have never had the same experience, sharks secrete a oil called squalene that helps them float in water. In living specimens this stays primarily in the liver, but in dead specimens the oil leaks out and gets everywhere, and the smell is enough to induce vomiting.

Needless to say, I got out of the classroom ASAP and wanted to do nothing but shower and then veg afterward, so an easy Tuesday puzzle was a welcome diversion.

  gawain: Obvious but nifty. Qg6 check then Nxg6 then fxg6 mate! The bishop and pawn form a mutual protection society.

  Jambow: No offence <sexymichelle7> but do you cut and paste the same answer every time, or most of it.

I picture some gravely voiced 55yo cigar smoking fat guy from Jersey not a 27yo areobics instructor from Beverly Hills, hope im wrong lol.

Nov-30-10  Elsinore: <Infohunter> Yeah, you're right. Thanks.

<Jambow>, I think the smart money is on Jersey.

Nov-30-10  Elsinore: <dzechiel> <sexymichelle7> posts the exact same comment repeatedly and thinks that no one would notice. And, she describes herself as an "aerobics instructor" from Beverly Hills. Seems par for the course; not too bright. And who the hell is Tiffany??!!

Dec-12-10  kevins55555: THis is LOL. 4.Qh5+ <Ke7> is a horrible move.5. Qxe5+ Kf7 6.Bc4+ d5 7.Bxd5. LOL

  kevin86: A twist:this is Damiano's Defense and Damiano is WHITE.
Apr-05-11  Antonina: Why 11... Nbc6?? It loses immediately. In my opinion Qd6 is a better move.
Apr-06-12  kontoleon: guys this chess games is 500 years ago! much deference, so maybe had an today errors...

  Nightsurfer: Herewith a statue that Odemira has erected in order to commemorate the great son of that city, <Pedro Damiano>: http://comunidade.sol.pt/photos/xad...

But the way the artist has depicted Damiano that is fiction, however, since it is not known how Damiano has looked like.

  Nightsurfer: The notorious <"Damiano's Defense"> has been wrongly attributed to <Pedro Damiano>, since <"Damiano's Defense"> has been assessed by <Pedro Damiano> as being an insufficient defense, please compare the German-language feature <"Damiano war es nicht ...">, herewith the link http://www.chessbase.de/nachrichten..., and the Spanish-language version of that feature <"No fue Damiano ...">, herewith the link: http://www.chessbase.com/espanola/n... (for those members of the community here who can speak Spanish, and I think that should be more than those who eventually speak German ... :-) ...).

That very feature is based on an interview with <Mario Silva Araujo> who has published a biography on Damiano, the title: <"Damiano, O Portugues E A Sua Obra">. Herewith the link that leads to a photo that depicts <Damiano>'s biographer <Mario Silva Araujo>: http://www.chessbase.com/espanola/i...

  Nightsurfer: Hello dear <Webmaster>, please clarify the site where this analyse here has been published.

That is <Rome> where Pedro Damiano has lived since 1497 after having been forced to emigrate from Portugal in 1496, please compare <Mario Silva Araujo> in the biography <"Damiano, O Portugues E A Sua Obra">.

  Abdel Irada: <kevin86: A twist:this is Damiano's Defense and Damiano is WHITE.>

Paradoxically, given modern opening naming conventions, Pedro Damiano never actually played the Damiano Defense, although he did spend some time analyzing (and refuting) it from the White side.

Feb-05-13  RPdigital: That old good e7 trick... He-he-hee!
