Dec-27-15 | | Abdel Irada: I don't *want* the pun. :-P
(And yes, sad enough to admit, I got the bloody thing immediately. In other words: I watched 1970s television.) ∞ |

Dec-27-15 | | Abdel Irada: Speaking of things unwanted, White's clever 17. Ba5! must have come as a cold fish to the face. White's trick relies on a back-rank fork. If Black nabs the impudent prelate with 17. ...Qxa5?, White picks up a pawn and the exchange: <18. Nxf6+!, Bxf6> ([a] 18. ...Kh8? 19. Rxe8+, Bf8▢ 20. Rxf8+, Kg7 21. Rxc8 ; [b] 18. ...Kf8?? 19. Rxe8#) <19. Rxe8+, Kg7 20. Rxc8 > ∞ |

Dec-27-15 | | morfishine: <FSR: I don't get the pun> Probably because it isn't a pun in the first place. This is just another sad play-on-word, again making fun of chess players' names while vaguely referencing a short-run cops and robbers TV series????? Pathetic in the extreme

Dec-27-15 | | catlover: And of course, there was the 70s cops and robbers TV series about a giant potato and an alaskan sled dog. It was called "Husky and Starch". |

Dec-27-15 | | Abdel Irada: "Husky and Starch": That one elicited a laugh (and several groans) from my wife. ∞ |

Dec-27-15 | | psmith: There was an SNL skit I have always remembered, Sartresky and Hutch. Existentialist cop show... |

 | | scutigera: <Abdel Irada>: Don't feel bad; I watched no more than a minute or two of the show and avoided the movie entirely, and I still got the joke right off. Like mercury, once it gets into the biosphere, you're going to start ingesting and accumulating it, and there's no known method of excreting it.
Apart from that, 64 f4+ is a neat trick I hope to remember for knight endings. |

Feb-10-22 | | Granny O Doul: White's play is reminiscent of Petrosian in its huggy bear quality. |
