 | | kingfu: Gonzalez was 20 years old and rated 2500. These are both good things for a chess player. Tal was 56 years old. He smoked too much and drank too much. And he had this kid for breakfast.
This is the stuff of legends. |

|
Nov-24-14 | | tranquilsimplicity: Such; I need glasses.# |

Nov-16-16 | | acantonelli: why did white move his knight on #26 to d3 ??? |
|
Feb-01-18 | | kishore4u: h5! Pawn |
|
Feb-21-20 | | andrewjsacks: Great pun. Literate. Well done. |
|
Feb-21-20 | | ndg2: The play's the thing!
Wherein I'll catch the conscience of the king! |
|
Feb-21-20 | | areknames: <Great pun. Literate. Well done> Yes, lovely pun. That is one overworked Queen if I ever saw one and a Hamlet reference never hurts. |
|
Feb-21-20 | | CJC: Beautiful tactic, great wordplay. |

 | | fredthebear: The Ng1 made 9 moves that turned out rather useless. |
|
Feb-21-20 | | raviarun: Why not 27.Ne1...does'nt it counter the hxg4 threat, and protect g2 ? |
|
Feb-21-20 | | raviarun: Just realized that 27...Qc5+ and then black will win the white queen! |
|
Feb-21-20 | | CaliWest: What is wrong with 27. Nb4 ? |
|
Feb-21-20 | | CaliWest: oh nvm raviarun just said what's wrong with it |

 | | OhioChessFan: Nice pun, a bit cliched but okay, great Tal magic. |
|

 | | OhioChessFan: <Phony> may know, but surely this pun has been used before? |

 | | HeMateMe: The Magician of Riga. |

Feb-21-20 | | Ratt Boy: <OhioChessFan: Nice pun, a bit cliched…> I hear ya, OCF, butt I do like it. A lot. |
|
Feb-21-20 | | piltdown man: An excellent pun, for a beautiful game by the Wizard. |
|
Feb-21-20 | | Phony Benoni: <OCF> As far as I can tell, the pun or something similar hasn't been used before. |
|
Feb-21-20 | | Cheapo by the Dozen: Brilliant pun!
As for the game, 20 f5 regrettably doesn't work, because after White sacs the exchange Black's recapturing pawn attacks the queen, for a crucial defensive tempo. |
|
Feb-21-20 | | newzild: A good title (though not a pun, as others have suggested), and a cute shot at the end. |

 | | Annie K.: Methinks some commenters may be overlooking the fact that the original line is <protest>, rather than <protect>. ;) And that's actually understandable, as the very *aptness* of this original adaptation makes it seem so natural - and that's what makes this title a brilliant pun indeed. I was delighted to find this little gem waiting in the queue! :) |
|
Feb-22-20 | | jith1207: Well, if there's a game where the Queen resists the loss for as long as possible, can we suggest the pun: <"The Lady Doth Protest Too Much"> :) |
|

 | | Korora: To quote another line from the same play as the pun: I like thy wit well, i'faith. |
