Great work to put black into a bind and then excellent technique to deliver the full point and save our match vs the Canadians! Promote Shanks and demote Akobian/Kamsky. Hell let Shanks take the first board and demote Nakamura. This kid is 4/4 with one rest (ill timed) rest day! |

<catlover: The pun made me have all these Bob Dylan songs running through my head. And I don't even particularly like Bob Dylan.> It may coincidentally also be a Dylan lyric, but I heard of it in the _Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_, when one of the mice proposed it as an explanation for Deep Thought's "Forty-Two." ∞ |

| | wtpy: Abdul Irada, Coincidently? It clearly is a Dylan lyric from Blowing in the Wind. And many more people are aware of it through the song than hitchhiker, at least of my generation, who may not have initially heard it sung by Dylan but Peter, Paul and Mary. |

 | | morfishine: Taking the first name of a chess player who played a game in 2014, and retro-fitting it into a song released 52 years earlier doth not create a pun; Its not even a play-on-word, because as usual, it lacks the foundation of the supporting reference So in fact, what we have, as usual, is nothing
To be fair, what we do have is another failed attempt, blowing away in the wind Bye, Bye
