| Dec-29-11 | | newzild: I don't see why this blitz game should be GOTD, especially since there are so many blunders towards the end. I suspect that once again chessgames.com has simply gone for a pun, rather than given any thought to the merits of the game. Annoying to spend five minutes clicking through a skittles game, expecting to find some brilliant finale that doesn't exist. |
|
| Dec-29-11 | | erniecohen: <newzild> Agreed, especially since white could have ended it with 22.  xd8+  xd8 23. xd8+  a7 24. g8. It's not as if Socko doesn't have some decent wins they could have used instead. |

| Dec-29-11 | | Uvulu: <erniecohen> In your line, how would you deal with 24... Qg4? |
|
| Dec-29-11 | | Penguincw: Geez just one check in this game. |

Are you getting my drift?
I propose an additional overall category:
Most Valuable Poster - diceman. |

| | Domdaniel: <Alpha> You're welcome to your opinions. There might be technical issues with the 3rd category listed, as User: diceman does not seem to have any game collections. |
|
| Dec-29-11 | | AlphaMale: Well, that only goes to show how high his standards are. Who was it, when asked about his best game, rejoined that he hadn't yet played it. That's the spirit I like. However good diceman is, he can get better, he will get better! |
