Steven87: <HeMateMe> Perhaps. Black also shares the same first initial and last name as Sir Walter Raleigh, known for popularizing tobacco in England. Seems Raleigh, NC was also named after this fellow: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter...

Steven87: <dwfleig: After 11. Na4 why not Nxa4 instead of Qa3? Haven't been able to figure the strategy behind Qa3. Thoughts?> I think it's because after 12. Nxe4, the White Queen is chased off the fifth rank, where it's protecting against Bg4xf3, followed by Ne4xg5.

Regarding the pun, I believe it's a combination of Gyula's name and a reference to an Alice Cooper song, from the year before this game was played.
