  Phony Benoni: A Delmarvel!
Jul-31-13  YoungEd: Eugenious, even!
Jul-31-13  jusmail: Mar del Plata:)
Jul-31-13  engmaged: maybe 25... Qe7 was a better retreat to defend the weak black squares in kingside
Jul-31-13  Abdel Irada: Well, at least the <well-born [child] of the ocean> won. (Presumably implying that Cthulhu didn't.)

Jul-31-13  JohnBoy: <engmaged: maybe 25... Qe7 was a better retreat to defend the weak black squares in kingside> - my thoughts exactly. This is probably where the game was lost.

  TheAlchemist: Haha, the pun is made even better by this funny coincidence...       

Delmar is the name of a local company here, and a couple of weeks ago somebody abandoned a destroyed minivan with its logo by the road close to where I live (of course I won't go into the quickness of the local authorities in removing it, since it's still there).

Jul-31-13  The Last Straw: Hah, my second pun!
Jul-31-13  kevin86: The attack will come quickly...as will the mate.

Black=poor defensive driver.

Jul-31-13  kevin86: No wonder black lost...look at his name: he has a "screw" missing.

  ferrabraz: A more cruel pun would be "Philip "Ivrognard" (from french "ivrogne" - drunk) Driver".
Jul-31-13  eightbyeight: Black should be convicted of dangerous Driving causing death (his own).
