Are you sure about that?

Aug-18-22  2071 S Milwaukee: Sure he's sure. White ended the game quickly.
Aug-18-22  goodevans: Nice game by White. After all that shadow boxing at the start the first interesting move for me was <20.g4>. White offers a pawn but if Black accepts with <20...Bxh4> then <21.g5 Bxg5 22.Bxg5 hxg5 23.Nxg5+> forces <23...Kg6> and Black's K looks very precarious there.

As soon as White played <22.Kg2> it was clear that the impending Rh1+ would give Black some issues with his g-pawn.

If only he'd taken with the B on the previous move instead of the P then after the exchange of minors (either) he'd have had ...f6 at his disposal to defend g5 (e.g. <21...Bxg5 22.Nxg5+ hxg5 23.Kg2 f6>. Ain't hindsight a wonderful thing?

Nice pun too.

Aug-18-22  Cheapo by the Dozen: A two-name pun that matches the game well -- well played!

  OhioChessFan: <arek> a reference to this song:

Using the last name of the two players.

Aug-19-22  areknames: Thanks <OCF>! Good song, good pun and a good game, surprisingly 'modern' for its time.
Aug-19-22  TheBish: I guess 1. e4 a5 could be called the Noa-Ware opening. It certainly goes nowhere for Black! I half expected 2...Ra6 3. Bxa6 as so many novices play!
