| Dec-20-11 | | sfm: Traditional wisdom says "open the centre if your opponent weakens himself on the flank". So, 12.-,d5. 12.-,Ba6 look like a mistake, which is also exploitable by 14.Qa4! |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | whiteshark: Thought it's referring to http://whychess.org/node/3215 but it seems I've mixed it up. |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | Oceanlake: rilkefan, I believe, hits the nail on the head. BTW, I'm dubious about c7-c5. |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | Robespierre: Wow! Karolina vs Regina! Smokina vs Pokorna! Do the two sets of names in ANY chess match get better than this?? |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | solskytz: Loved the pun!! Which certainly refers to the marvelous game exhibited - not at all to the person's looks or sexual attractivity |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | erniecohen: There's nothing fundamentally wrong with Black's setup (other than the misplacement of the QN); she just makes a silly tactical miscalculation with 16...dxe3 and 17...exd2. 16...♘h5 followed by 17...g6 is fine for Black. |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | erniecohen: (While I'm here, I officially protest the pun-driven GOTD selection.) |
|

 | | Domdaniel: (While I'm here, I wonder why, as it's an excellent game). Could it be that the winner was female and rated just 2192? |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | erniecohen: <Domdaniel> No, just that it's not a very interesting game, basically just a tactical blunder. There is nothing especially interesting in its setup or exploitation - after 18. ♕xd2 it's pretty obvious that Black is lost. |

| | Domdaniel: <ernie> I still like it. I admit the finish is superfluous as White is a piece up. |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | tommy boy: Hi,
in bulgarian name Smokina sounds pretty like the fruit fig-tree (smokinia in bg) and name Pokorna means exact "submissively". Very interesting game btw |
|
Dec-20-11
| | Domdaniel: Just "Submissive", no?
Still, great name for an, er, chess player. |
|
Dec-20-11
| | Domdaniel: "Queen Submissive" sounds very like one of those dominatrix-type names. Or those attracted to dominatrices. - Now pick up that crown! |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | tommy boy: Domdaniel, I'm not very familiar in English but means exact submissively, obediently; humbly, meekly - quotes from a dictionary |
|
Dec-20-11
| | Domdaniel: <tommy boy> I believe you, of course. My dictionary had 'Pokorna' as an adjective (as in "a submissive person") rather than an adverb ("he acted submissively"). Is that wrong? |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | tommy boy: <Domdaniel>, as an adjective is right :) |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | kevin86: White penetrates his opponent's position and a win is certain. Smokin' gun... |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | rilkefan: Maybe black should have tried 16...dxc3 instead, if she wanted to avoid Rxd4 after Bxh7. |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | goodevans: <kevin86:> White penetrates <his> opponent's position ... Do you know men blokes called Karolina? ;) |

 | | Penguincw: Amazing. The g-pawn actually got to queen. |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | James Bowman: Scored to low on a 1-10 scale so I went with 5-15 instead and that helped a lot gave it an 8. |
|
| Dec-20-11 | | thegoodanarchist: The minor pieces swarm in to help the White Queen execute her adversary. Very fun and entertaining to see. |
|
| Dec-21-11 | | TheBish: Why is this still the GOTD, two days straight? |
|
Dec-21-11
| | Domdaniel: Karolina on my mind. |
