 | | Phony Benoni: First of all, the pun is the title of a popular American television show of the 1960s. If you've seen the game before, you'll catch the relevance immediately. If you have never played through this one, you are in for an experience. Alekhine, in the tournament book, called it "The oddest game of the tournament". No argument. |

Aug-03-11 | | sevenseaman: What if 39. b3 in lieu of 39. Rb8. The Black B is trapped? It guards c6 square against a N fork. |

 | | profK: Wow what a great game, and heaven knows if the result was right, but you almost got to take a breather just playing through it .. |
|
Aug-03-11 | | abuzic: Check with the other N: 62.Nge4+, much better was 62.Nde4+ and immediately e6 (62...Kd4? 63.Ne6+) White could get rid of the b pawn and further sac the N: 62.Nxb3 and d7, e6, e7 will follow. |

Aug-03-11 | | kevin86: Black is ahead a queen for three lowly pawns and a knight. But,it is he that is forced to draw. |
|
Aug-03-11 | | hellopolgar:  click for larger view69. Kg6 would have won. in fact, the number of wins that white missed in this game is rediculous. |

Aug-03-11 | | ChitownChesster: Can anyone tell me why Black's queen stayed put for such a long time in the middle game while his King was traversing the board? It seems Black spent half the game trying to find a safe square for his King. I've never seen a game anything like this. |

Mar-02-14 | | KingPetrosian: Can't believe it! White was a good player - I don't see how he was unable to win this game after his 65th move! - especially after playing the game so well before that! |
|
Mar-02-14 | | RedShield: Check out White's position after the 36th move: Nakamura vs Carlsen, 2014 |
|
May-21-15 | | Howard: Tim Krabbe's excellent website has a popular section about the 110 best chess moves of all time. Could someone out there please let me know why 66.a4 made the list ?! The move doesn't look all that impressive to me. Or am I missing something ? |

 | | offramp: Today's pun, "My Three Sons", refers to the three white pawns on d7, e7 and f7 in the final position. If you add these to Black's 8 missing sons you have <eleven sons> and <"My Eleven Sons"> is the name of a very funny short Story by F Kafka published in 1919. It's my Lock of the Week for Pun of the Year! |

Sep-30-17 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: I suspect White gave up the win when he played e7. Before that, playing his king to e8 would have provided shelter from perpetual check, and hence so would playing it to e7. Blocking that square is probably what cost the win. |
|
Sep-30-17 | | Howard: Thanks much for the analysis of 66.a4! Was that, by some chance, the only winning move, though ? |
|
Sep-30-17 | | morfishine: Whats remarkable is Janowski playing more than 20 moves lol ***** |
|
Sep-30-17 | | TheBish: "My Three Sons".... If they're about to become queens, wouldn't they be daughters? |
|
Sep-30-17 | | TheBish: I know the title refers to the old TV show, but I think if you got that reference, "My Three Daughters" works too. |
