autolycus: Yay I got the exact line in the annotation! I thought it was too easy for a Friday puzzle though. So I worked out how White gets mated no matter what he does if he doesn't take on f4.

| | Jan-20-11 The World vs N Pogonina, 2010
| |
|
autolycus: Shakespeare has Shylock say, in <Merchant of Venice>, Act 1 Scene 3, "Ho! No, no, no, no." It happens again with Lear in <King Lear>, Act 5 Scene 3, where he says, "No, no, no, no!" That's a quadruple negative.

autolycus: Thanks for the reminder. I remember that event somewhere around move 14. I was under the impression that recent kibitzing referred to something sinister in the last few moves. Sorry to have taken up your time!

autolycus: <Domdaniel>: I like the formulation of the Nimzo quote as, "The threat of execution is more powerful than the execution of threat."
