Nov-15-17  funnyfamilystar: 31..Qc5 followed by 32.Rxc5#
Nov-15-17  Amarande: Not quite but it is mate in a few moves anyway: 31 ... Kb4 32 Re4+ Ka3 33 Rxa4#.

(Black can delay one move by giving the Q on either move 31 or 32)

  offramp: I was curious about today's pun, so I looked it up on Huskisson's Internet Pun Index and was surprised to see that it gives today's pun 7/10. That's pretty high.
Nov-15-17  schnarre: ...White just devastated Black here!

...Black might have held out a bit longer by 13...0-0 instead of ...Nh5, which achieved only the loss of a good defending piece.

  Domdaniel: Gawd, that is a baaaad pun. But - as Thomas Pynchon observed - there is high magic in low puns.

Nov-15-17  thegoodanarchist: Black played insolently. Black deserve to be duly punished for such insolent play!

  Domdaniel: <Annie> Hey there. One of your creations, eh? I should have known ... very few minds are sufficiently twisted to come up with such 'puns'.

  Domdaniel: On the subject of truly awful puns: if Elisabeth Paehtz happened to be from Prague rather than Germany, and was a Catholic, one might say ... "Paehtz RC Czech..."

Geddit?

  Annie K.: Geddit... :) in fact, I posted something along similar lines back in 2005: E Paehtz vs E Moser, 2001

(Didn't submit it for GotD consideration, though) ;p

Nov-16-17  kevin86: Black will be pushed back by the rank and mated on the file.

  Domdaniel: <Annie> Heh. Of course you always get to the really bad puns before me.

Is that a compliment? Yes, of course it is. You're brill, OK?

In such company, I'm happy to be semi-brill.
