  An Englishman: Good Evening: The pun receives a well-earned seal of approval. Interesting game, too. Not certain where Black definitely erred; however, 31...g5 looks risky. Perhaps 31...Nf7 or 31...Ng8, maybe? Too hard for my three remaining brain cells.
May-17-21  Messiah: Interesting!

  OhioChessFan: Nice pun. 31...g5 was a pointless disaster
May-17-21  Cheapo by the Dozen: Clever single-name pun!

And interesting game.

  offramp: As a Londoner, I liked the pun. I thought I'd give it about 4/5.

I was curious to check the pun on Huskisson's Internet Sliding Pun Index (on the dark web). [HISPIDU].

<"Cancel of Trent"> recorded a staggeringly low 3.3/120.

Sauve qui peut! (No pun intended.)

That is the lowest rating I've seen since the pun <"I Haven't Laughed So Much Since Old Big-Arse Died">, which scored 0.005 (I forget the game.)

  mjmorri: The King walk over to c1 reminds me of Petrosian.
May-17-21  RandomVisitor: 31...Nf7 = . Black gains a precious tempo with the attack on the undefended e5 pawn, then g5 works for an even game.
