  beatgiant: (to the tune of "Let It Snow")

Oh the bishop pair's scope is frightful
But the g-file's so delightful
And since the king has no place to go
Win it Snow, win it Snow, win it Snow.

White's attack shows no signs of stopping
And the knights are powerfully hopping
When the defense runs out of ammo
Win it Snow, win it Snow, win it Snow.

When they finally stop the clocks
How Paul'll hate signing off with a loss.
But if Snow he cannot outfox
All the way home he'll be cross.

Black's kingside is unraveling
And White's pieces to the fore are traveling
But as long as there's a tactical blow
Win it Snow, win it Snow, win it Snow.

Dec-23-24  goodevans: Decent pun enhanced by a clever ditty.

Why, oh why, oh why did Black force White to take control of the g-file before giving check?

Instead of <34...Be2? 35.Rg1 Bf3+>, the immediate <34...Bf3+ 35.Kh2 Be3 36.Ng4 Bxg4 37.Qxg4 Rg8> wins handsomely.

Another good seasonal GOTD. CG is on a roll.

up to 36. Kh2, it was a struggle between ♘ + ♘ versus ♝+ ♝. GG!

Dec-23-24  stone free or die: Doris Day's talent as a singer got lost in all the movies she made. What a voice, and delivery.

The pun could almost have been a two-fer:

<Let it B. Snow>

Dec-23-24  stone free or die: (But there's no clever lyrics in that case!)

  offramp: I thought of a good trivia question. In fact this question is the <Chessgames Christmas Quiz>.

Top prize is the Cyprus Kanndadalla's <10,050 Great Chess Yawnfests>.

QUESTION:

<Why did Mary Martin wash her hair 8 times a week for 5 years?>

Dec-23-24  Ilkka Salonen: Chessgames.com embracing the fact that white has advantage in chess. Well, I could tell you that the finnish police could soon start killing people, because the are so frustrated that there are complicated matters, and there is other things involved.
