 | | Gilmoy: Meh. <17..Rd4 19..Rg4> looks toothy, but it just lets White develop with free tempi, and loses d for nothing. After <21.Nb3 22.Rd1> White's 6-on-1 Q-side is way ahead of whatever plan Black had. |

 | | al wazir: What was Wade thinking when he played 30...Kd8? 30...Rxd5 is the only way to avoid mate: 31. Qb8+ Kd7 32. Rxd5+, and white is a piece up. Maybe he decided it was better not to prolong the agony. |
|
Feb-17-14 | | Steven87: <al wazir> All is lost after 29. Qb3 (perhaps earlier), with only mate or material loss ahead. I suspect he wanted a quick elegant finish |

 | | HeMateMe: This game was an abortion. |
|

 | | FSR: Black's counterplay was stillborn. |
|

 | | HeMateMe: prophylactic moves would have been helpful, here... |
|
Feb-17-14 | | morfishine: Take it easy on Black. He was playing Rossolimo for crying out loud. Wade can walk in water, not on water ***** |
|
Feb-17-14 | | MelvinDoucet: the same Wade who played 1 e4 e5 2 ♘f3 d6 3 d4 ♗g4 ? |

 | | whiteshark: I don't get the pun. |
|
Feb-17-14 | | Tim Delaney: <morfishine: Take it easy on Black. He was playing Rossolimo for crying out loud. Wade can walk in water, not on water> Nice one! |
|
Feb-17-14 | | chupawan: <whiteshark> it's after famous Roe v. Wade decision of US Supreme court about right of women to abortion as hinted by <HeMateMe> |
|

 | | perfidious: Wade should have pulled out. |
|
Feb-17-14
 | | whiteshark: <chupawan> TYvm! |
|
Feb-17-14 | | gars: Great pun! One of the best I have seen. |

Feb-17-14 | | RandomVisitor: An untried opening novelty would be 7...Ndb4, which is playable due to the hanging knight on g5: click for larger view Rybka 4.1 x64:
<[+0.57] d=24 7...Ndb4> 8.Nf3 e4 9.Qe2 Qe7 10.Nd4 Bb7 11.Nxc6 Nxc6 12.Nc3 0-0-0 13.Bxc6 Bxc6 14.0-0 Qe5 15.d4 Rxd4 16.Be3 Rb4 17.Rab1 f5 18.g3 Bb5 19.Nxb5 Qxb5 20.Qd1 Ra4 21.c4 Rxc4 22.b3 |

Feb-17-14 | | gofer: What's the usual reply to
1 e4 e5
2 Nf3 Nc6
3 Bc4 Nf6
4 Ng5 d5
5 exd5 ...
Isn't it?!
5 ... Na5 |
|
Feb-17-14 | | Sihlous: 5...Na5 is the most common but 5...b5 is strong as well. |

 | | Domdaniel: Aaargh, what a pun! I thought 'Row vs Wade' was George W Bush's offer to flood victims in New Orleans, as to just how they should escape the waters. |
|
Feb-17-14 | | chesswar1000: It was probably better to "abort" this game |
|
Feb-17-14 | | master of defence: I also didn't get the pun at first, just when <chupawan> explained.
I'd guess it happens sometimes because i'm not a US citizen, but this website has been made in the USA, right? |
|
Feb-18-14 | | vanderyacht: What's the purpose of 6. Bf1 7. Bxb5 instead of 6. Bxb5 ? |
|

 | | kevin86: Black should have aborted (resigned) rather than playing his last move. |
