 | | Honza Cervenka: Interesting game. Black postponed d6-d5 to the moment when it led to almost decisive advantage. But 22...Bg5 would have been probably more accurate. White defended quite well in following play but black still managed to prevail. 16.Nc5!? deserved attention. Then retreat of LSB loses Pa6 and after 16...Qc7 or 16...Rb8 white can trade the Bishop with favour. |

 | | Honza Cervenka: Btw, Paulsen's 49...Be5 wins the game easily but 49...g4 with unavoidable threat 50...Rb1+ 51.Kg2 Rg1# would have been better finish. Of course, 49...g4 50.h4 g3 with threat Rh2# doesn't help white. |

OhioChessFan: <Scarlett> has had some good puns. This isn't one of them." I personally think it's hilarious! Very apt, very clever. |

May-15-20 | | Predrag3141: Interesting, this was a Boleslavsky variation before there was a Boleslavsky. White seems to be unaware or unable to prevent … d5. |

May-15-20 | | areknames: <This game wouldn't look out of place in a modern day international tournament> I agree, quite astounding. Very clever pun, if a tad convoluted. |

 | | OhioChessFan: Maybe "Goodbye Hruby. Lou, Stay"?
That's pretty convoluted too. |

 | | scutigera: Say what you will about this pun, it at least makes reference to the game itself, instead of just making fun of one of the players names, even if the reference is just to the fact that Paulsen beat Hruby. I've suffered through way too many Gyula Sax and Reuben Fine puns to sneer at this one. |

"Passed pawns must be pushed." But if they evaporate you must have something else in return. As it turned out, White just didn't.
Instead Black's king-side pawns had a something never to be underestimated: staying power. |
