  FSR: You think White's pieces were imprisoned in this game? Have you ever seen the Tomb Game, B Harper vs R Zuk, 1971?

  FSR: I agree that <Lock Her Up!> would have been far better.
Nov-29-22  EvanTheTerrible: After "Let's Go Brandon", I think we need a break from political puns, FSR.

  al wazir: Why is this game over?

Suppose white defends the loose ♙s: 42. Qh4 Bd3 43. Bxd3 Nxd3 44. Nxd3 Qxd3+ 45. Kg2.

Now white has the better game. He is threatening to play 46. Qe4, which would force a ♕ swap or a draw by repetition.

Nov-29-22  Gregor Samsa Mendel: <aw>--after 42 Qh4 there is no need for black to trade pieces and relieve the tension. After 42 Qh4 Qc1 white is without useful moves.

  Teyss: <EvanTheTerrible> Agreed. BTW if anything it could be "Lock him up!"

  FSR: <EvanTheTerrible> I don't think use of a pun that is a political catchphrase implies agreement with the original use of that phrase. IMO, if anything it pokes fun at the phrase. I am certainly not among those chanting <Let's Go Brandon> or <Lock Her Up!>.

  perfidious: Knowing <FSR>, he could hardly be less in agreement with the 'Brandon' bit.

  offramp: <Hell in a Cell>

I think that refers to a small board area that White was confined in.

I'd say it's that area f1-b7-g4-g1-h8.

  Teyss: <FSR> It's good you specified. You remain in my favourites list. We could have a vast debate about second degree humour, can we joke about anything, "Mein Kamp" and all that sort of thing but it would lead us too far.

And thanks for this great game B Harper vs R Zuk, 1971

  FSR: <perfidious> Yes, like you I am one of those evil "libs" so hated by the right-wingers on Rogoff.

  al wazir: <Gregor Samsa Mendel: 42 Qh4 Qc1> 43. Qd4.

If 43...Qxg5, then 44. Bd1. (Not 44. Qxb6 because of 45...Bh3+.) If now 44... Bh3+, then 45. Ke2.

Nov-30-22  Gregor Samsa Mendel: <aw>--42 Qh4 Qc1 43 Qd4 Qxg5 44 Bd1 Qc1 and white can't capture the b-pawn without losing the bishop, and the c-pawn is in danger of falling.

If now 45. Be2, then 45...Bh3+ 46. Kg1 Qxe1+. If instead 45. Ke2, then 25...Qxc4+ 46. Qxc4 Nxc4, and the ending looks lost. I resign.

Thank you.
