Feb-22-11		DanielBryant: It's a reference to a song in the South Park movie from a few years back.

Feb-22-11		Keith Dow: It is a reference to the Academy Award nominated song from the South Park movie. Comedian Robin Williams sang it, minus the swear word, at the ceremony. Sheila: Times have changed Our kids are getting worse They won't obey their parents They just want to fart and curse! Sharon: Should we blame the government? Liane: Or blame society? Dads: Or should we blame the images on TV? Sheila: No, blame Canada Everyone: Blame Canada Sheila: With all their beady little eyes And flapping heads so full of lies Everyone: Blame Canada Blame Canada Sheila: We need to form a full assault Everyone: It's Canada's fault! Sharon: Don't blame me For my son Stan He saw the darn cartoon And now he's off to join the Klan! Liane: And my boy Eric once Had my picture on his shelf But now when I see him he tells me to @#$% myself! Sheila: Well, blame Canada Everyone: Blame Canada Sheila: It seems that everything's gone wrong Since Canada came along Everyone: Blame Canada Blame Canada Copy Guy: They're not even a real country anyway Ms. McCormick: My son could've been a doctor or a lawyer rich and true, Instead he burned up like a piggy on the barbecue Everyone: Should we blame the matches? Should we blame the fire? Or the doctors who allowed him to expire? Sheila: heck no! Everyone: Blame Canada Blame Canada Sheila: With all their hockey hullabaloo Liane: And that bitch Anne Murray too Everyone: Blame Canada Shame on Canada For... The smut we must stop The trash we must bash The Laughter and fun Must all be undone We must blame them and cause a fuss Before somebody thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus!!!!

Feb-22-11		kapitanevans: A nice king walk indeed

Feb-22-11		KingV93: A South Park reference on CG.com? Sweet!

Feb-22-11		belgradegambit: Funny I had submitted "Blame Canada" for this game M Bluvshtein vs I Ivanisevic, 2011

Feb-22-11		JohnBoy: <Phony ... suppose any analysis today will focus on Black's attempts at liberation.> - No doubt. Aside from pathetic "development" at move 9, is there any reason for black to give back the X?

Feb-22-11		Shokerg: They think it's Orlova...it is now!

Feb-22-11		shishio71: A SP movie reference on chessgames!? This freaking made my day!

Feb-22-11		Owerbart: nice game.

Feb-22-11		hedgeh0g: <<Phony ... suppose any analysis today will focus on Black's attempts at liberation.> - No doubt. Aside from pathetic "development" at move 9, is there any reason for black to give back the X?> It's hard to suggest anything better, since Black is quite tied up already. White has a simple plan of rerouting his knight(s) to target c7, which is somewhat awkward to defend.

Feb-22-11		gauer: <<PhonyBenoni> There has to be a current cultural reference here that I'm not getting at all> Unbeknowngst to her until after she returned to N. America, Liza (eventually, perhaps from results in latter or previous rounds) picked up her WCM title as a result of her score & pairings vs titled players in the team tournament. Perhaps this or another pairing was critical for her to get the shot of picking up a title. The 7th round set 53rd ranked Canada paired to 59th ranked Norway for the 8th round, & the former eventually won the match (2.5-1.5) for this table. Is it known which of the 4 games were done by the time that these two finished up? For those that have seen the movie, the pun submitted might've been more useful for a USA-Canada meet.

Feb-22-11		lizaorlova: Don't be saying stuff. I play in FIDE rated tournaments...ONCE A YEAR. i barely play chess. just stop it.

Feb-22-11		OhioChessFan: My Heh Meter just spiked.

Feb-22-11		OhioChessFan: 18...Nf5 19. Bb2 Bc5 would have left Black an okay game. click for larger view I really don't get the time wasting h6/g6/h5/g5 either, although the game might have been lost already. What was there to fear with all of White's pieces on the other side?

Feb-22-11		David2009: Very enjoyable game with enterprising tactical play from both sides. <lizaorlova: Don't be saying stuff. I play in FIDE rated tournaments...ONCE A YEAR.> Lisa if I could play such enterprising and enjoyable chess as you do - I would be really pleased with myself. At move 28 with Black to play: click for larger view did you consider 28...Rd8? Or after 28...g5 29 Kd4 Rd8+ 29 Kc5 f5 gets the Pawns rolling. I'm not saying it works but it might have been a good try. Three Crafty End Game Trainer links to positions in the game: Before 28.Ke3: http://www.chessvideos.tv/endgame-t... Before 29.Kd4: http://www.chessvideos.tv/endgame-t... Before 30.Kc5: http://www.chessvideos.tv/endgame-t... In all links you play White: drag and drop the move you want to make.

Feb-22-11		hedgeh0g: <chrisowen> What the hell are you talking about?

Feb-22-11		WhiteRook48: and this pun is... terrible

Feb-23-11		lizaorlova: I had winning postion..... Instead of taking the rook on a1. Just play bxc6! Extra pawn, and most likely winning game.

Feb-23-11		kevin86: crazy game! The c5 pawn cannot be stopped.

Feb-23-11		JohnBoy: <lizaorlova: I had winning postion..... > I wouldn't go that far. You get a pawn and white gets a nice developmental lead. Not winning, but definitely not dead out of the opening. A whole lot of game there.

Feb-24-11		lizaorlova: Okay, but I've played so many games with this line and won 90% of them. Don't understand why i went for that strange line. Obviously should have played safer. "Better safe then sorry" as they say!

Feb-27-11		chrisowen: <Hedgeh0g> one you boost in drive cull yearrrr up garden pate? Klimbed and found Koneru Annageldyev, Kamsky Ivanchuk castle Kombat it. O Annageldyev vs Koneru, 2005 Ivanchuk vs Kamsky, 2006

May-09-11		Everyone: Blame Canada!

Jan-22-12		Tigranny: What does the pun mean?
