<HeMateMe: monster game! What does the pun refer to?> I believe it refers to "order from chaos."
(A little unfortunate for this pun that Chao is actually pronounced more or less as <chow>.) ∞ |
|
Mar-14-17 | | AlicesKnight: Maybe "Chao mean" - but a fine combination to blast open the Q-side - the word 'relentless' was right. |

Mar-14-17 | | goodevans: <offramp: ... Chow is food and you can order food.> You might "order chow" or even place an "order for chow" but you wouldn't "order <from> chow", would you? Or were your comments <tongue in cheek>? The pun was clearly meant to reference chaos not food. It works visually even if it doesn't match the pronunciation. |

 | | mjmorri: White's early demonstration on the Kingside looks dangerous but fizzles. It is interesting how Black's dark-squared Bishop maneuvers around the central pawn mass, first to help ward off White's attack, then to participate in Black's own Queenside attack. |

Very, very nice game from Li Chao, who's unfortunately fell from the top 15 recently. |

|
Mar-14-17 | | RandomVisitor: <swclark25>After 21.Nxf6 Kxf6 white has no attack and black has the advantage, it would seem. |

The pun should be that "Chao" (Chow) is a Chinese restaurant, from which you've ordered. But stupid cg.com means that it is "Kay-Ah" similar to "chaos". I was about to renew my premium membership, until I saw this stupidity of a pun. |

 | | Gilmoy: <15.f5 e5> with a mating net :o <21.Rh3 22.Qf3 23.Ng3> puts all three(!!) of them out of play. That's a grand concept: to "know" that you can afford to pay R+B because White is already "down" by that much. Ergo, the attack <must> be violent and crazy, so that White never gets one free tempo to unpack. IIRC, <26.b3 Bxb3 29.Bxb3 Rxa2> is a <sweeper-sealer>, sacking two pieces for two pawns in front of the K. <30..b3 31.Bxb3> is a simple clearance sac for Q entry; Black has the freedom of not caring about material now. My favorite part was <16.Qh4 Ke7!> connecting the Rs. The Bf8 had an interesting life. |

Mar-14-17 | | botvinnik64: Game from a long time ago, esp. for Yifan; she seems to played so unsure of herself. First, a kingside attack, pause, retreat, smash! |

Mar-14-17 | | morfishine: <thegoodanarchist> I was rolling on the floor laughing at your comment ending with <...I was about to renew my premium membership, until I saw this stupidity of a pun> I appreciate every corner of this site except the GOTD, which is a misnomer if there ever was one. Its a real pity <goodevans> FYI: There is no such thing as a "visual pun". LMAO As printed, this game title reads "Order from chow" This means not only are other cultures left struggling to understand a certain humor, wit or pun from some other culture; the entire civilized world from the Americas, Latin America, Asia and the Euro-conglomerate are all left shaking their heads at this ludicrous, irrational, nonsensical and utterly laughable game title. "Order from Chow" is what all cultures read and process "Order from Chow"
Think about it
Lol

<john barleycorn> is my sockpuppet. I use it to attack me constantly, solely to get attention. And the best of it is, no one ever suspected a thing. :-D ∞ |
