 | | offramp: Slightly unfortunate for Mr Borya Ider, who has been the loser of a GoTD for two days in a row, equalling the record of Ringo van Flintoff. The opening is called an "Anti-Anti-Grünfeld" AKA a Pro-Grünfeld. |

 | | Once: A double pun! Oh, clever stuff! |
|
| Apr-01-17 | | Honey Blend: 42. ♕xe5+ looked ok for white, but maybe I'm missing something? Is it the fact that today's April 1st? |
|
| Apr-01-17 | | nalinw: Very nice sequence of puns .... reasonable game too |
|
| Apr-01-17 | | drleper: Haha, can't complain about the nice double pun there on April 1st! Although I'd like to see if continue for one more day, as this one will borya; V Inkiov vs B Ider, 2012 |

|
| Apr-01-17 | | Honey Blend: <41. is Bg1+. WK has to move and 42. Qxe5+ is not legal.> The score showed 41. ... ♗e3 when I first looked at it. Oh well. |

 | | thegoodanarchist: I think the purpose was to have a very boring game on April Fool's day, and tell people with a pun that it isn't boring. Then they get to move 29 and realize it is a snoozefest. |

| Apr-01-17 | | clement41: It looks as though a great deal of white's suffering comes from his relative weakness on dark squares |

<Phony Benoni: Very good, <cg>. I didn't see the point for a minute or two> <HeMateMe: That's pretty good!>
What are you guys going on about? Are you just talking about the pun (which I admit is pretty good) or is this game really some kind of April Fool's joke, and if so how? |
