  al wazir: Good game, stupid pun.

If instead black had played 40...Ne7, white would have had to work a lot harder.

Aug-09-19  OrangeTulip: Terrible respectless pun, indeed
Aug-09-19  goodevans: <al wazir: If instead black had played 40...Ne7 ...>

Or indeed almost anything other than the abysmal <40...Bg7?> which loses a piece to a simple three-move combo.

Aug-09-19  Ironmanth: Terrific game! Thanks, chessgames. Y'all have a great day out there in chessland! :)
Aug-09-19  vermapulak: 40...Bg7 ??
Aug-09-19  vermapulak: it could be tuesday POD from Move 41 for white
Aug-09-19  Momentum Man: Good pun!
Aug-09-19  Cheapo by the Dozen: Impressive how Black's weak back rank remains important so late into the middlegame.
