Jan-26-06 | | dakgootje: *Applauds for both* for white because he played black just off the board and for black because hes the first one in ages ive seen to allow a mate, HATE it when there is like a forced mate in 2 and he one who is about to lose resigns... |
|
Jan-26-06 | | PaulLovric: thanks for this aussie game <chessgames.com> on australia day |
|
Jan-26-06 | | cavaleiro: <PaulLovric> That's because Valenti is tough!!! Lot's of blunders, but 39...hxg4 was crucial.
(valente/valiente means tough in portuguese/spanish) |
|
Jan-26-06 | | PaulLovric: <cavaleiro> huh? i do not understand you mate. ru brazilian? |
|
Jan-26-06 | | EmperorAtahualpa: Very funny pun for today's GOTD. :) I guess it is referring to 39...hxg4?? By the way, what is Australia Day? (hey, that rhymed) :) |
|
Jan-26-06 | | dakgootje: <EmperorAtahualpa>If its not true what follows then no offence meant, but i thought it was something like a day for the aussies to be happy to be aussie etcetera. I saw tennis on television today, Australian Open, i think the quarterfinales or something and one of the players was pretty distracted by the fireworks lol |
|
Jan-26-06 | | Jack Kerouac: I love Australian Day.A toast to the Aussies all day long!
Neal agrees with me. |
|
Jan-26-06 | | kevin86: Happy Australia Day,mate(s)! Is it no accident that the game ends in a mate? lol. |
|
Jan-26-06 | | PaulLovric: <kevin86>lol thanks mate
<Jack Kerouac> a toast to you too pull up a banana loung and have a beer and some lamb from the barbie.
<EmperorAtahualpa> australia day is thw 26 0f jan. |

Jan-26-06 | | apawnandafool: <dakgootje: HATE it when there is like a forced mate in 2 and he one who is about to lose resigns...> I HATE THIS TOO!!!! |
|
Jan-26-06 | | twinlark: <EmperorAtahualpa> It may refer to .39..hxg4, but Black is thoroughly stuffed and mounted by this time anyway. White is threatening 40.gxf7 and gxh5. |
|
Jan-26-06 | | jefipius: <cavaleiro:
Lot's of blunders, but 39...hxg4 was crucial.>I'm not sure that in such a position I'd call it a blunder. Isn't black hosed no matter what he does? He's looking at 40. gxh which opens up the king side and spells doom - albeit a slightly slower one. At least 39...hxg4 required a nice piece sacrifice by white. |

Australia Day celebrates the arrival of the First Fleet at Sydney Cove with its boat load of convicts, soldiers, ships crews and officers. There may have even been a handful of free settlers. It marks the beginning of British settlement and what was to become New South Wales and eventually Australia. |
|
Jan-26-06 | | jackmandoo: Very interesting position after 42.Qxg7, The king cannot capture the queen and it has no square to go to escape the check. |
|
Jan-26-06 | | MoonlitKnight: It's not as much a blunder as chessgames.com needing an excuse to use this fantastic pun! |
|
Jan-26-06 | | Kola: Total domination. Nice! |
|
Feb-10-06 | | MorphyMatt: 39... hxg4?????? it just makes no sense, opening up the h-file for white |
|
Feb-10-06 | | devilwolfdog: I agree with jackmandoo...after 42 Qxg7, black's position is almost hopeless |
|
Feb-15-06 | | MorphyMatt: <devilwolfdog> I beg to differ. After 42. Qxg7, black's position is mated. |
|
Mar-01-06 | | Averageguy: I believe that 40.Qh6 also forces mate. |
|
Dec-06-07 | | aazqua: Oh snap. Watch Daryl Johnson pound this clown into submission just like when he was lead blocking for the cowboys. Who says football players are all meatheads? |
|
Aug-11-09 | | RVALENTI: Just subscribing today to this site and surprised to see this game played 8 years ago.
Im just an amateur playing and losing against a grandmaster 400 fide points higher.
Why someone called me a clown is just beyond my imagination. |

 | | piltdown man: Who's Daryl Johnson? |
|
May-15-18
 | | fredthebear: Darryl Keith Johansen is Australia's 2nd Grandmaster after Ian Rogers. |
|

 | | Jonathan Sarfati: Why make derogatory comments about Monsieur Valenti who was a guest in Australia at the time, and playing a GM with plenty of good scalps. |
