| Nov-25-15 | | whiteshark: <saturn2> I actually thought that <17... Rb4 18.cxb4 Nxd4 19.b5 Bc2+ 20.Kd2 Bf4+> is checkmate, but it isn't due to <21.Kc3> (which I missed)  . |
|
| Nov-25-15 | | MindCtrol9: The first I did was to take a look at white Queen which is in the air,unprotected and is not in a good position.This made me think that the black Bishops became full of power in combination with the knight. A nice game. |
|
| Nov-26-15 | | saturn2: <whiteshark> After 17...Rb4 white can play 18 Qxa8 and does not have to take the rook. However in my line 18 cxRb4 Nb4 19 Nc5
after 19...QxQa4 20 NxQ Bc2+ white gets the same troubles as in the puzzle solution.
Therefore my first remark to your post contained a mistake. |

 | | Penguincw: Hmm. Looked at the GOTD, and saw the link was purple, and wondered when I did visit the game. I looked at it, and apparently it's the Wednesday puzzle from 2 weeks ago. |

| Dec-09-15 | | JimmyRockHound: What's the story with this chap Chris Owen then? |
|
| Dec-09-15 | | kevin86: Why is this game back so quickly? Wasn't it a puzzle a few weeks ago? |
|
| Dec-09-15 | | lost in space: sigh,
to say the obvious: 19. Na4 Bc2+ 20. Kd2 Bf4# |

 | | Domdaniel: I arrived for a tournament game a long time ago -- after a liquid lunch, but it was my birthday -- to find myself playing a very young and very small Sean Coffey, who was White. "It's a kid", I thought, "so he'll stick a pawn on e4..." But he hadn't. Nor d4 or even c4. Eventually I noticed that he'd played 1.b3. I felt vaguely affronted -- the Nimzo-Larsen was for allegedly mature avant-gardener types like moi, not for... children. So I responded, and soon lost the Exchange, and reached a lost position. Somehow, I pulled myself together, found a swindle, and won. I won't say he cried, but it was close. |

| Dec-09-15 | | TheFocus: Coffey talk. |

| Dec-09-15 | | TheFocus: <Domdaniel> <So I responded, and soon lost the Exchange, and reached a lost position. Somehow, I pulled myself together, found a swindle, and won. I won't say he cried, but it was close.> You should have stuck out your tongue and said, "Neener. Neener. Neener." |
|
| Dec-09-15 | | TheFocus: One reason I hated playing against kids (luckily, only a couple of times), was them picking their noses while we played with my nice wooden pieces. Ever tried to get a booger out of a Bishop's mitre? |

| Dec-09-15 | | thegoodanarchist: < TheFocus: One reason I hated playing against kids (luckily, only a couple of times), was them picking their noses while we played with my nice wooden pieces. > I had a child opponent who wiggled his ink pen back and forth, over the board. I think I was a little to stern when I told him to stop doing that, because he proceeded to get his king and queen forked by my knight. I don't feel bad, though. |
|
| Dec-09-15 | | TheFocus: <I don't feel bad, though.> Great!
I don't know why, but I always liked seeing the little buggers cry after a loss. |

|
| Dec-09-15 | | morfishine: <Domdaniel> Nice story, I will refrain from any derogatory comments on the pun or the game in general ***** |
|
| Dec-09-15 | | qkxwsm: Way too recent puzzle of the day :/ |
|
| Dec-10-15 | | KID Slayer: Happily, this game provides more hopes for Black that he can smash White against the Exchange, which takes out all of the fun in playing the French. Love the French with a passion as Black. I like the pun, being that black coffee is my favorite morning drink, though with a light roast. :) |
|
| Jan-29-16 | | Sean Coffey: Well, well, well ... I wonder how these games are chosen? A tough event. After losses in the first three rounds to Miralles, Condie, and Staniszewski (2290, 2345, and 2370 respectively) I was paired against Lazaridis (2260) and managed to win. The game above was quite atypical, let me put it that way. |
