 | | HeMateMe: I think there shoudl be a pun contest, with a theme. All puns must have a Beatles reference. |

Dec-03-11 | | Manofglory: I wonder where black went wrong. It seemed ok and suddenly Nb5, Na4 and queen's gone. How about 12...Nb4 ? It allows Qa5, and Qe6 etc. and threatens Nc2+. |

 | | HeMateMe: Holy S____! Benoni has Beatles on his mind. When I saw the above games, I almost went Helter Schlecter! But, a quick walk over to Strawberry Fines calmed me down, wheh! |

 | | HeMateMe: Donald Byrne should have called <Doctor Robert> for help in his game against Fischer. |

Dec-03-11 | | erniecohen: This is just stupid. 13...♕a5 and Black is fine. Day just had a momentary brain cramp. |

Dec-03-11 | | lentil: <This is just stupid. 13...Qa5 and Black is fine. Day just had a momentary brain cramp.> I suspect that this was a speculative sac. Black got a huge amount of counterplay for his exchange of a Q = 9 pts for 2 pieces (and a pawn) = 7 pts; he had nasty threats that persisted for 20 moves or more. However, I would like to hear Mr Day's thoughts about this. |

 | | AylerKupp: <erniecohen> Yes, his brain turned to yellow matter custard. See G Wall vs R Granat, 2006. |

Dec-03-11 | | kevin86: White could immediately exchange queen for rook and win with the a-pawn A circus of forks in this one. |
|
Dec-03-11 | | bischopper: <phony benoni> I think that every game has something in common like white win or queen in sack so... Only the songs from beatles |
|

 | | Phony Benoni: <bischopper> I was only looking for "puns" that were titles of songs by the Beatles. The fact that White won most of them was a coincidence, and Games of the Day often feature spectacular sacrificicial play. |

 | | IMlday: 13..Qxb5 was too speculative of course but after 13.. Qa5 14. Qxa5 Nxa5 15. Nc7+ Kf8 16. Bg2 exd4 17. exd4 Be4 he has 18. f3! Bc2
19. Nc5 Nc6 20. f4 Nxd4 21. Nxd5 and White gets a draw because the awkward ♗ blocks the fork. |

 | | GrahamClayton: 56. ♖h2 is an unusual way to trap the bishop, with the Black king blocking any possible escape moves along the diagonal. |
