  Phony Benoni: White finds a clever way to retain his extra pawn. He gets what he want, but even Admiral Halsey can't save the ship from going down.

  An Englishman: Good Evening: <Phony Benoni>, Admiral Halsey notified me that he had to have a bath or he couldn't get to sleep...

  offramp: To begin with it looks as if white is winning hans down - but then comes a furious counterattack.

Good pun, today, BTW!

Dec-19-14  kevin86: We're so sorry...sung by PAUL.

Black threatens mate, white throws in a few checks and then lets the adverse queen mate.

Dec-19-14  Smite: Ugly game decided by blunders. White failed to convert a very nice position.
Dec-19-14  Captain Hindsight: < 31. Qd7?? > clearly ruined a much better position.

Better would have been < 31. Rxe7! Qxe7 32. Nxf5 Rxc6 33. Nxe7 Rxc4 34. Nf5 >
