Jul-04-19		Sargon: <HeMateMe: hmm....Syd Barrett, composer of <Arnold Lane>. This would have been a nice chance to sneak in a Pink Floyd pun, "Arnold's Lane�?> Nah—we needed to maintain the Independence Day theme. The USA was, of course, �born� on the 4th of July, and this was one of only two games in the entire database which was 1) played on July 4th, and 2) featured an American defeating a Brit—the other game being M Traldi vs J Quinn, 2001. I also wanted to take this opportunity to commend you, Private First Sass <HeMateMe>. Ever since your enlistment into the <Army of Pun>, you have displayed punmatched poise and courage—often in the face of heavy enemy punfire. Accordingly, I—<Punmaster General Sargon>—hereby issue you a field promotion to the rank of Punnery Sergeant, with the grate expectation that you will rapidly ascend the irearchy to one day serve in our most elite corps, <The Puntouchables>. Congratulations on your promotion, <Punnery Sergeant HeMateMe>. There are also several other punslingers who have rendered meritorious service, and their valuable contributions have not gone punrecognized—consequently, I will be announcing additional promotions ASAP at Sargon�s Punhouse: Sargon chessforum

Jul-04-19		Ironmanth: Great hard fought game! Happy Independence Day, all! Be good and do good.
