Jul-14-11 | | Sem: Spoil-the-pun: wasn't his name written Böök and pronounced like 'Euwe'? |
|
Jul-14-11 | | consul: The pun made me laugh! But i wouldn't laugh thinking about the game. Very interesting also the lines proposed after 10.Kc6. |
|
Jul-14-11 | | midknightblue: typical book moves. No surprises here. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: My hero Eero was "booked up", as they say at the Chess Life sales window. |
|
Jul-14-11 | | APatzer: Black queen not worth taking ! |
|
Jul-14-11 | | hedgeh0g: Not sure if any of this was "book" in 1925, but White simply played the most obvious moves after Black blundered in the opening and quickly achieved a won game. |
|
Jul-14-11 | | kevin86: "I am Book-do you read me?" I remember this game from the 1000 Best Short Games of Chess.-by Chernov;I even remember his cute remark on black's last move:look who is checking. Not exactly a Monday puzzle... |
|
Jul-14-11 | | castledweller: exciting game . . .
Black's queen is left hanging while White chases the king all around the board, attempting to mate without the need to take the queen - a unique and fun game. And it all happens so early on - thx CG. |
|
Jul-14-11 | | castledweller: one for the books |
|
Jul-14-11 | | Yerbamate: insane combinations deep |
|
Jul-14-11 | | Blunderdome: Hmm, I didn't suggest this game for game of the day, but I did make the same pun on Feb 9th, 2010 at Keres vs Book, 1952. |
|
Jul-14-11 | | SuperPatzer77: <Kevin86> Let's say "Book him for checkmate" when mirandizing him. LOL LOL LOL. SuperPatzer77 |
|
Jul-14-11 | | Lorenzon: wow what a coincidence, I looked at this game yesterday!! |
|
Jul-14-11 | | WhiteRook48: awesome mating attack, but horrendous pun |
|
Oct-31-12 | | pablo333: Brilliant play from Book: white appears to have a forced win after the seemingly logical 7... g6 from Hiidenheimo. |
|
May-01-14 | | Mats G: The first name of black is Antti. The game is certainly authentic: It was played in the school championship of Suomalainen yhteiskoulu in the fall 1925 (Eero Böök: Odödliga partier och andra schackkåserier, Holger Schildts förlag, Helsingfors, 1966) |
|
May-01-14 | | sakredkow: Throw the Book at him! |
|
May-01-14 | | TheFocus: Yeah! Hit him in the Heimo! |
|
Oct-31-14 | | Rookiepawn: Bishop opening - Blanel gambit... But it counts as a notable game for the Frankenstein-Dracula variation. Are the two the same? |
|
Apr-21-15 | | TheaN: With the Vienna game being the opening of the day, I have to correct my own analysis from 2010: <TheaN: 10.Bb5†?!> in reaction to 10.O-O-O+ Kc6 11.Bxd8 being the best move. I wrote down 10.Bb5+, but meant 11.Bb5+, as possibly being better than 11.Bxd8. It's not true. After 11.Bxd8 Bh6+ 12.Kb1 Rxd8 13.Nf3 Bg7 14.Rhe1 black is indeed busted, as he can't defend e5. Unable to develop, the game is hopeless. After 11.Bb5+?! Kb6 12.Bxd8 Bh6+ 13.Kb1 Rxd8 , if 14.Nd5+ Kxb5 15.Nxc7+ Kc6 16.Nxa8 white is better, but black will regain Pf7 at some point and can probably untangle himself. |
|
Mar-06-21 | | Mats G: The name Böök has nothing to do with book. It means beech. |
|
Mar-06-21 | | Granny O Doul: Beech's brew. |
|
Apr-09-22 | | Whitehat1963: Book him, Eero! |
|
Dec-31-22 | | generror: One of my favourite games -- I just love kings going for a stroll! One of the nice things about this game is that in his last move, black is forced to check the white king before he's mated right next to him. |

 | | Messiah: Terrible pun, fantastic game. |
