Oct-09-10 | | notyetagm: Ngoc Truongson Nguyen vs Kanep, 2010 LarryC at ICC was just amazed at how vicious and fast the White attack came from this innocent-looking position. https://webcast.chessclub.com/icc/i... 10 ?

 | | offramp: <Chizoad: Now this is a great pun.> It should be "White to Play Nguyen", not "White to Play and Nguyen". |
|
Jun-13-17 | | Chizoad: Disagree. The pronunciation of Nguyen essentially drops the "N" sound (although it is vaguely present). It's one syllable - not two. Thus, the "and" is necessary. |
|

 | | ChessHigherCat: It may not be absolutely phonetically correct but "White to Play: Nguyen" makes sense and "White to Play and Nguyen" doesn't. |
|
Jun-13-17 | | actinia: pronunciation of the Vietnamese name "Nguyen" sounds like the English word "win" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yJe... |
|
Jun-13-17 | | lentil: Actually, to ease the burden on "Anglo" folk, who have a lot of trouble starting a word with "ng" (Try it!), Vietnamese immigrants to the US and Canada often pronounce the name as "Win". So... |
|
Jun-13-17 | | JohnBoy: Can black improve w 21...de3? |
|
Jun-13-17 | | JohnBoy: Answer: no. Not 22.Rxd7, but 22.Qh5+ leads to a quick mate. |
|
Jun-13-17 | | bcokugras: JohnBoy: 21... de3, 22. Qh5+, then? |
|
Jun-13-17
 | | ChessHigherCat: If it's really pronounced "win" then a better pun would be "Kanep fails to Nguyen" |
|
Jun-13-17
 | | ChessHigherCat: Eureka! Luckily the guy's first name begins with an N:
"White to play: N. Nguyen" |
|

 | | catlover: It's interesting that on moves 35 and 36 Stockfish rated the positions more or less even. That changed with Kanep's 36...Nxd4 which permitted Nguyen to simplify to a rook and pawn ending with four pawns versus Kanep's two. |

 | | piltdown man: Outstanding pun! |
|
Jun-13-17 | | ColeTrane: Nguyen is common like Rodriguez...but how does one pronounce the first name....? Flied Lice anyone....? |
|
Jun-13-17 | | nikromos: Pin and Nguyen would have been my choice, given how the game went. |
|
Jun-13-17 | | JohnBoy: <bcokugras> 21...de3 22.Qh5+ Kg8 23.Qh7+ Kf8 24.Qh8+ Ke7 25.Qg7+ Ke8 26.Qf7# On a phone w small screen, but pretty sure this works. |
|
Jun-13-17 | | JohnBoy: <catlover> - It sure looked to me on initial view that 36...Rd4 was the way for black to proceed. |
|
Jun-13-17 | | morfishine: Yeah, lets just bastardize another player's name for a cheap chuckle Real classy stuff around here
***** |
|
Jun-13-17
 | | catlover: <JohnBoy> I think you're right. 36...Rxd4 would have kept the game fairly even. |
|
Jun-13-17 | | LivBlockade: This line was repeated in Le Thao Nguyen Pham vs A Zatonskih, 2012 when Black tried 15...Qb5, also without success. |
|

 | | kevin86: White's kingside pawn majority carries the day. |
