Jan-24-19  OrangeTulip: Good pun and interesting game. After getting the exchange (move 16) it became a one side game.
Jan-24-19  goodevans: Taking the b-pawn with B rather than a-pawn would avoid the two Bs becoming a target on the 7th. Black might have been able to squeeze half a point after <15...Bxb5 16. Bxa8 Qxa8 17. Qxe5 O-O>.
Jan-24-19  Cheapo by the Dozen: <Phony Benoni> should be congratulated for today's pun.
Jan-24-19  erimiro1: True. Mazel Tov <Phony Benoni>!
Jan-24-19  catlover: Well done, <Phony>.

  OhioChessFan: I am going to try this without engine checking, but I have to fault 9...Nxc3. Just 0-0 seems good enough. I guess Black didn't like the thought of an IQP, but Black exchanged a Knight that took 3 moves for White's that took 1.
