  perfidious: Where the **** did all this come from?

Never seen this astonishing combination till now.

  Domdaniel: A true Uruguayan Immortal: it even lasts for exactly thirty-three moves -- isn't 33 a significant number in Uruguay?

Jul-03-15  LucB: <perfidious: Where the **** did all this come from?>

<perfidious>, there's one * missing in your self-censored word: "bleep" contains 5 letters!

;-)

Jul-03-15  LucB: Fantastic combo, btw!

  Domdaniel: <LucB> -- <"bleep" contains 5 letters!> True, but there are 4 letters in "heck" ... as in the phrase "all-out thermonuclear heck" which was reportedly threatened by an American president who would rather blow up the world than use 'bad' language ...
Jul-03-15  Mating Net: Fantastic game. I see many similarites to this famous classic Rotlewi vs Rubinstein, 1907.

  perfidious: Ah coulda used 'hail' instead!!!
Jul-03-15  morfishine: A great game! Very exciting and what I look for in GOTD

<offramp> Why is the pun funny? I have nothing against the title, but it seems like a pretty straightforward title to me, which is appropriate, but not necessarily funny, or even a pun...unless you are being your sarcastic self again

Jul-03-15  LucB: <... as in the phrase "all-out thermonuclear heck">

That's a good one... :D Was it Johnson who said that?

<perf> yeah, 'hail' would have been good!

  Domdaniel: <LucB> -- < "all-out thermonuclear heck"... Was it Johnson who said that?> Truman, I think. But it may not be a true story. Apocryphal in more than one sense.

  Honza Cervenka: Lovely game.
Jun-09-21  Marcelo Bruno: Very beautiful game! It really deserves the title of "Uruguayan Immortal" (Inmortal Uruguaya).
Jun-09-21  Granny O Doul: Truman was actually noted for plainness of language. There was the story that Reagan once retold (albeit garbled to the point of senselessness) where Truman, giving a speech, made repeated reference to the use of manure in farming. A lady sitting next to Bess asked "can't you get him to say 'fertilizer'?" and Mrs. Truman replied "It's taken me twenty-five years to get him to say 'manure'".

  perfidious: Not for nothing was Merle Miller's biography of Truman titled <Plain Speaking>.
