 | | blazerdoodle: 21.Rc7 was kasparov's draw?
so he trie's something different.
But then "Kaplooey!" He can't hold the booty, it's as if someone deflated White's tires before the last last few laps. What went wrong? |

Jun-01-13 | | Cemoblanca: I liked the calm moves 16...Rf7! and 17...Ne8! (controls c7) before the storm (18...h5) on the kingside. Very Saxy game. ;) |

Jun-05-13 | | Cemoblanca: Congrats <perfidious>. I'll try this definitely in my upcoming games, but not today! ;) Just played a very nice game against the Caro-Cann-Defence (B10): [Event "Blitz 10m"]

Wow.. 2. ..Qa5??
Brings out the Q like a complete beginner.

does it have any handicap levels above bonehead? That level doesn't know how to develop pieces! Maybe you could bump it up a couple notches! It's no challenge for you at that level. |

Jan-02-18 | | Grandma Sturleigh: 32. Qh1? is horrible. 32. Qxg3 would have kept the game level. |

Nov-26-20 | | V Geriakov: A model KID game from Sax, although I don't get the implication on the pun. |
|

 | | An Englishman: Good Evening: The title refers to a very old book entitled The Joy of Sex. Decent title for rather a high quality game. |
|
Nov-26-20 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: There actually is an album called "The Joy of Sax" by the Capitol Steps, making a similar pun. In that case the sax is the one Bill Clinton played. |
|
Nov-26-20
 | | FSR: The pun should be <The> Joy of Sax to parallel the book title. |
|
Nov-26-20 | | Brenin: This game beautifully illustrates the cliché that in the KID, if the centre is locked up then Black's advance on the K-side is likely to be more lethal than White's on the Q-side. As a rugby fan I find the image of a wheeled attacking scrum coming to mind. |
|
Nov-26-20
 | | perfidious: The work to which <An Englishman> and <FSR> refer led Alex Comfort, its author, to be known as <Dr Sex>, a fact which, while making him wealthy, caused him some discomfiture. |
|
Nov-26-20
 | | FSR: <perfidious> Are you saying that that sobriquet made Comfort uncomfortable? |
|
Nov-26-20
 | | perfidious: <FSR>, could be; but that was too easy. |
|
Nov-26-20 | | Brenin: This is a pun for the eye, not the ear, since I believe that Black's name is correctly pronounced something like "shocks", or maybe "shawcks". Perhaps Hungarians would appreciate "Miles shocked" better? |
|
Nov-26-20 | | morfishine: <Brenin> You are correct, simple research shows the Hungarian pronunciation of the letter 'S' is 'SH' as in share, shout, shape, etc., so maybe the game title references "The joy of electro shock treatment" or "The joy of shock absorbers", which would please auto mechanics everywhere |

Nov-26-20 | | RandomVisitor: After 23...Kh8, 24.Rc3 followed by 25.Nc7 might be the best try for white:  click for larger viewStockfish_20112608_x64_modern: TB6

The above, with which I was familiar - and indeed witnessed as it was played - was not one of those. |
