Feb-24-23		PeterLalic: I'm still thinking of a pun for this game, since it is quite entertaining.

Mar-04-23		thegoldenband: Awww, I rather liked "Lie Back and Think of Englund" for this game -- Miles vs Huebner, 1985 -- particularly given the backstory. (And it really is a Back Story.)

Mar-04-23		al wazir: The wording of the phrase as I've heard it is "close you eyes and think of England." https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/clos...

Mar-04-23		An Englishman: Good Evening: Really, really like the idea of playing a Budapest Defense with colors reversed (which would make it a Budapest Attack?), but does 1.h3 constitute the best means of doing so? In some variations of the Budapest, Black will play ...a7-a5 followed by ...Ra8-a6-g6 or h6 depending upon the position. So why not 1.a4,d5; 2.Nf3,c5; 3.e4!?,dxe4; 4.Ng5!?,Nf6!?; 5.Bc4,e6; 6.Nc3 to quickly recapture the e4 pawn and then play a quick Ra1-a3?

Mar-04-23		Teyss: The pun: er, what happened between the players after the game? Anyhow from now on I'll start all my games with 1.h3. Black was lost after move 13: another case of "Don't grab that b or g Pawn." Taking the Rook afterwards was almost forced because if 14...Bxh3 15.Rxd7! (or Bxa8) Kxd7 16.Rd1+ click for larger view (a) 16...Ke7 (Ke8 transposes) 17.Bd6+ Ke8 18.Bc6+ Kd8 19.Be5+ wins. (b) 16...Kc8 17.Bb7+! Kxb7 18.Na5+! bxa5 (Kc8 19.Qa6#) 19.Qb5+ Kc8 20.Qc6# 14.? would be a great weekend puzzle (Be4!!) and 22.? a decent Tuesday puzzle (you have to spot 27.Be8+).

Mar-04-23		Check It Out: 13.. Be7 and 24...O-O seemed the way to go. I was thinking, ...dont do it..., but he took the g-pawn.

Mar-04-23		Check It Out: 14...O-O that is. I'd delete and repost, but you can't delete a post with a cell phone. Try it.

Mar-04-23		saffuna: Is this a first? The pun submitted by one of the players?

Mar-04-23		Teyss: <saffuna> Not by far, User: PeterLalic submitted at least another one, User: FSR a few, etc. ("Etc." is a convenient word when one doesn't remember details but pretends he/she does.) Unfortunately CG doesn't keep track of the punster in the GOTD list. Honestly I like it when a user submits one of their own games, it gives extra value and of course it's even better when he/she comments it (nudge nudge). Which reminds me, forgot: congrats for this swift win <PeterLalic>.

Mar-04-23		goodevans: <Check It Out: ... I'd delete and repost, but you can't delete a post with a cell phone. Try it.> It's been a while since I accessed CG from a cell phone but as I recall there are a whole bunch of things you can't do from the mobile screen layout. If ever there's a time you want to do any of those things then the way to do it is: 1. Go into your 'preferences' page and check the preference <Disable mobile features (even on mobile devices)> then save your update. 2. Go back to the screen where you need to do something which will now display like a PC (not great for most of the time but at least you can do whatever it is). 3. When you're done go back to your 'preferences' page and uncheck 'Disable mobile features...' then when you save your update you'll be back with the mobile layout. Useful for some things but probably too much hassle just to delete a post unless it's a really embarrassing one!

Mar-04-23		saffuna: <teyss> Darn, forgot about <fsr>.

Mar-04-23		stone free or die: <Teyss>, <goodevans> I have an Android phone, and use the default Chrome browser. When viewing any page, if I click the rightmost pull-down menu in the toolbar (i.e. the one with the three vertical dots) there's a <Desktop Site> option towards the bottom. If you click that you view the page as a PC would rather than a phone, and all the usual features are there. (Though you might need a magnifying glass to actually read anything on the page)

Mar-05-23		PeterLalic: <An Englishman: So why not 1.a4,d5; 2.Nf3,c5; 3.e4!?,dxe4; 4.Ng5!?,Nf6!?; 5.Bc4,e6; 6.Nc3 to quickly recapture the e4 pawn and then play a quick Ra1-a3?> This is the second time that we have separately reached the same conclusion! 1.a4 d5 2.Nf3 c5 3.e4 dxe4 is certainly better for White than 1.h3 d5 2.Nf3 c5 3.e4 dxe4. However, 1.a4 e5 is certainly worse for White than 1.h3 e5. For this reason alone, I have sought other "time-wasting" first moves. <Teyss: Anyhow from now on I'll start all my games with 1.h3.> I did it for 3 months! Seriously, I believe that this is an under-rated strategy. It halves your workload because you need to learn an opening repertoire with only the black pieces. Choose wisely though. Obviously, a reverse Dutch (1.h3 d5 2.f4??) becomes unplayable because g3 is weakened. More subtly, if you reverse an opening that features a kingside fianchetto, such as the Benoni, the h-pawn tends to be a liability. <Teyss: 14.? would be a great weekend puzzle (Be4!!) and 22.? a decent Tuesday puzzle (you have to spot 27.Be8+).> Thanks! I was proud of the positional exchange sacrifice 14.Be4, even though it should regain material in short order.
