 | | WannaBe: <offramp> Here you go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coleslaw |

 | | Check It Out: Coleslaw is often served with fish and chips here in the states. |

 | | offramp: I know what coleslaw is, in fact I'm eating some right now. I also know that slaw means Slav. I think what I'm trying to day is: Can someone explain the pun to me? |
|
| May-15-14 | | shivasuri4: <Young Ed: I wonder if 10. Bc4 with the idea of retreating to b3 if needed might work out.> No, that drops the e4 pawn. |
|
| May-15-14 | | morfishine: <offramp> "Colle slaw" is not a pun at all, so don't bother; unless someone can engage in a convoluted stretch of the imagination connecting chopped cabbage and mayo with chess, than this term only qualifies as silly word play Very fine game though, I really enjoyed the ultra smooth-order employed by Capa, especially his capture/recapture sequences ***** |
|
| May-15-14 | | Petrosianic: <"Colle slaw" is not a pun at all,> Especially since "Colle" is pronounced "collie". |
|
| May-15-14 | | kiraito: Colle Slaught. |
|
| May-15-14 | | mrknightly: In fact, why is this called an Indian game instead of a Colle System? |
|
| May-15-14 | | kevin86: I would think that the name is pronounced "Collie" that we would have a pun that would go to the dogs. I always thought the name was not pronounced like "coal" Frankly,I hate cole slaw and I dislike the pun also.o |

| | offramp: This must be the worst pun ever!
I can't think of a worse one. And the cherry on the trifle is some yutz joyfully giving me a link to tell me what coleslaw is. As if I just got off the banana boat. Faites-moi un faveur, mec. |
|
| May-15-14 | | Petrosianic: There's a poem in some old book that tells you how to pronounce all the old Master's names, and a lot of them aren't what you think. Some of the most misprounced: Colle (rhymes with Collie)
Tarrasch (rhymes with Parish)
Bisguier (Biz-guy-er, with no "W" sound)
Euwe (sounds like "Erva")
Alekhine (sounds like "Al-yek-kin")
Keres (sounds like "Care-ESS")
Pirc (sounds like "Peerts")
Dus-Chotimirsky (best not pronounced at all)
Fischer (sounds like "Fisher"... okay, maybe that one's not so hard) |
|
| May-15-14 | | RedShield: <This must be the worst pun ever!> Evidently, it should have been <Colle Slaughtered>. But these people who submit puns, they never think! |
|
| May-15-14 | | Absentee: Maybe we could use the IPA. |
|
| May-15-14 | | Petrosianic: Oh, another good one:
(Anatol) Lein (sounds like Lois Lane's last name). |
|
| May-15-14 | | RookFile: Colle was a strong attacker, but Capa turned him back with ease here. |
|
| May-15-14 | | RookFile: By the way, I could go for some potato salad now. |
|

 | | tamar: What Lassie had for lunch-Colle Slaw |
|
| May-15-14 | | RookFile: Indeed, sir. lol |
|
| May-15-14 | | WDenayer: Colle is not pronounced Collie. Colle is pronounced like protocol, without the proto, adding le, like in volleyball, without the yball.Perhaps it's just unexplainable in English. |
|
| May-15-14 | | Petrosianic: I haven't found the poem I mentioned, but here's a Name Pronunciation Guide that confirms that Colle is indeed pronounced KAW-lee. http://www.chess.com/article/view/p... |
|
| May-15-14 | | thulium: <morfishine> It's a very apt pun. After Capa took the initiative with 12.Bc2, Colle was on the run, sustaining a slice off his position or pawns with almost every move, until he ended up like, well, cole-slaw. |
|
| May-15-14 | | WDenayer: Colle is not pronounced KAW-lee, the name pronunciation guide is crap. I'm originally from Belgium. I know how Colle is pronounced. It doesn't sound like KAW-lee one bit. Euwe does not sound like Erva at all. I do not know who's making up such nonsense. |
|

| | WannaBe: KAW-lee as rhymes with Gaw-ly? =) |
|
| May-15-14 | | Rookiepawn: <Petrosianic> It says that, true, but the final "lee" seems rather an English pronunciation. I tend to think it is more what <WDenayer> says, which sounds more French. The final "e" is like the first "e" in English "better", but a little shorter, more like an innuendo than really saying it. The famous tricky frenchy e. So I guess, anyway. |
|
| May-15-14 | | weisyschwarz: Good pun. Cole slaw is made from shredded cabbage, and Capablanca shredded Colle's opening. Believe you me, there have been far far worse puns than this. |
