 | | moronovich: <jith1207: Can anyone explain the pun?> Comes from a Hemingway Classic "The Old Man and the Sea" |
|
| Oct-11-19 | | SkySports: Well, the Hemingway pun is a little bit abused with old players (see Caruana vs Korchnoi, 2011 and Zsofia Polgar vs Smyslov, 2000) :) Anyway I don't understand what's the reference to "the Three"... |

Anyway I don't understand what's the reference to "the Three"...> It's got to be a reference to Korchnoi's tripled isolated pawns. I think all three puns are pretty good, especially today's. |

| Oct-11-19 | | Ironmanth: OMG, what a game! Thoroughly entertaining, people! Thanks, chessgames, for a wonderful contest to begin my weekend study. Two awesome competitors that were each truly taken too early. RIP Vugar and Victor. |

 | | HeMateMe: 30 years after the great match in the PP korchnoi was still relevant. A true titan of the game. |

that help in winning the game. |

| Oct-11-19 | | ewan14: What a game ! ! |
|
| Oct-11-19 | | areknames: <It's got to be a reference to Korchnoi's tripled isolated pawns> Ok, but let's not forget that White had 3 queens (1 original + 2 promotions) and Black is about to crown a 3rd and decisive Queen when his opponent resigns. |

 | | playground player: Aren't you supposed to lose if you have tripled pawns? |
|
| Oct-11-19 | | cunctatorg: What a pity that the old man himself isn't here... I like to think that he had enjoyed pretty much that beautiful game!! |
|
| Oct-11-19 | | sfm: Fabulous game. |
|
| Oct-11-19 | | sfm: <playground player: Aren't you supposed to lose if you have tripled pawns?> I believe statistics are indeed against such unfortunate players. A clever solution is to upgrade it to a powerful quadrupled pawn. Alekhine vs Nenarokov, 1907 Van der Wiel vs Hort, 1981 |

 | | Breunor: Amazing hame! Really good pun too. |
|
| Oct-11-19 | | thegoodanarchist: Fantastic game by two greats of chess, and also a wonderfully fantastic pun! Claim your credit, Billy Vaughan!!! |
|
| Oct-11-19 | | diagonal: <.. the engines are jumping back and forth with their evaluations and anything seems to be possible ..>, a comment on cg. when this entertaining chess battle at the centralised Russian Team Championship (2008) was actually in progress. And now a perfect pun for this great game of two truly original players! In the end of the endgame, after hours of permanent fighting, Korchnoi, then aged 77, played better than rising Gashimov who reached his peak rank as number six of the world just a year and a half later (in November 2009). RIP Vugar and Victor. |

|
| Nov-11-19 | | Rookie26: Awesome game! |
|
| Dec-27-20 | | fisayo123: Amazing , amazing game. I haven't analyzed it yet but I have a feeling black was winning quicker somwhere.
It's always a joy to watch Korchnoi's games from the black side of a French because I think its an opening that suited his playing style and personality. Korchnoi here was all of 77 years old and he outplays a 22 year old 2700 player in a very complex fight. Unbelievable |
