Oct-11-04 | | Knight13: 40. Re1?? did black not see 41. Nf5+! ? As steintz said, mate in two moves would be 56. Qh6+ Kg8 57. Re8#. Good game. |
|
May-09-05 | | who: Knight13 your variation is mate in 1. However you forgot 56.Qh6+ Kg8 57.Re8+ Qf8 58.Rxf8# |

Dec-08-18 | | offramp: It is wonderful that User: castleguy12 has been honoured with his pun being used for a GoTD. Well done! She has only kibitzed 32 times in her three years at this site, but she has come up with a cracker of a PUN for this game. However, I don't get the title, "Henry & Henry". Is that a film or what? The two players have the first names of Henry and William, so I don't get that either. APART from that, I think it is a reasonable pun. |

Dec-08-18 | | PhilFeeley: <I think it is a reasonable pun.> I don't get the title either, and don't think it's pun at all. |

 | | Domdaniel: If you end up in one, then it is a grave error. Nicht Wahr? |
|
Dec-08-18 | | newzild: <PhilFeeley> You're quite right - it isn't a pun at all. It's simply a name or title. |

 | | al wazir: I don't understand Steinitz's comment after 24...BNxc4. If <25.Qxc4 Bxf2+ 26.Kh1 Bxe1 27.Nxe1 Qf2>, then 27. Nf3. Now what? If 28...Rd1, then 29. Qg4+ Kf8 (29...Kh8 30. Qb8+ repeats; if 29...Kf7, then 30. Ng5+) 30. Qc8+ Ke7 31. Qb7+ Rd7 32. Qa3. I don't think black can get anything better than a perpetual. |

 | | Domdaniel: Well, actually "Henry & Henry" *is* a pun. "Un peu obscure" - as somebody in Paris said of the great proto-surrealist Raymond Roussel, but still a pun: <COLLECTION - HENRY AND HENRY SHOES
henryandhenryshoes.com/en/collection.php
The collections of Henry and Henry Shoes. ... Henry & Henry Shoes is a trademark of Randi Creazion...> There are other possibilities: Niall Henry, an Irish theatre director who studied mime with Marcel Marceau, and who now works in theatre in Sligo; or, Regarding Henry, a film from the 1980s, directed by Mike Nichols, starring Harrison Ford as a lawyer who suffers brain damage after a shooting; or Henry & Henry, a bakery in Buffalo, New York; or, well, buttercream, meringue and sandals, plus related products. I apologize in advance for having so much trivia in the grotesque filing cabinet of my mind. |

 | | Domdaniel: "A Bird and two smoking pollocks" ... note that each player had a 'Henry' in his name. |
|
Dec-18-18 | | newzild: <Domdaniel> The fact that other Henrys exist doesn't make it a pun either. |
