Jul-25-25 K Rogoff vs R Blumenfeld, 1976    Arlekhino: Greetings again to all members, from Brazil (where Internet is working perfectly well, by the way)! 25.Bd5 was a nice shot by White here, and so was 28.Ng6+ followed by 29.g4 (embarassing the King with a Queen coming by to say hello... hehe).      Jan-23-25 So vs B van der Zwet, 2015    Arlekhino: Right, <Goodevans>, thank you for the chance to explain. What I see is that the player with the black pieces found himself in a position where any move he could make would be useless to avoid defeat. And, of course, he had the obligation to move. Now I don´t sugest anyone ...      Jan-17-25 Mamedyarov vs Giri, 2022    Arlekhino: To AnEnglishman, alshatranji, Muttley101 and Teyss: Not all of Shakespeare´s 154 sonnets have 14 lines, and not all of them have iambic pentameters totalizing ten syllables per line: see numbers 99 (15 verses), 126 (12 verses, different rhyme scheme), and 145 (shorter verses). ...      Dec-27-24 Z Tanenbaum vs T Shi, 2020   Arlekhino: 28. Rxh7! Nice shot (28. ? - could be a good Wednesday or Thursday puzzle)... Then, after 28... Nxe3 (if 28... Kxh7 29. Rh1+ followed by checkmate soon, Black can only choose how) 29. Nh6+!! Wow.      Dec-24-24 F Rhine vs NN, 2018    Arlekhino: <Jun-07-22 fredthebear: It seems that checkmate by castling is always long, to the queenside. Has anybody seen one when castling short?> There is this very well known example, by Morphy (against his own father). Even if it is an odds game, I guess it qualifies to illustrate ...      Dec-16-24 P Galperin vs J Hector, 2024    Arlekhino: <goodevans: Hard to believe that White was the higher rated player here (by some margin).> On the other hand, Johnny Hector´s highest rating achieved is 2558, and he won the Swedish Championship in 2002, at the age of 38. His opponent here was born in 2003, and also has ...      Dec-06-24 D Rogozenco vs G Fish, 2012    Arlekhino: <Dec-06-24 offramp: <The Picture of Dorian Grey> was a crappy short story by Oscar Wilde.> Actually it is a novel. And a highly praised one (deservedly so, IMHO).      Aug-26-24 S Boden vs J Owen, 1858    Arlekhino: <Aug-26-24 Premium Chessgames Member Teyss: The game score is incomplete: it continued 39...Rxg4 40.Rg8 Rxg8 41.f7 Rc8 42.e8=B+ Kd8 43.f8=B b5 44.Bh6 b4 45.Ba4 a5 46.Bg5#> Fantastic finish, I assume this is obviously a joke to undermine (or actually, "overmine") the pun...      Aug-26-24 D Rogozenco vs I Sofronie, 2002    Arlekhino: <Aug-25-24 DougRbbns: It looks like mate in 5 at: 24. .. R-h1. 25. Kxh1 Q-h8+ 26. B-h5 Qxh5+ 27. K-g1 Q-h2+ 28. K-f1 Q-h1##. Stockfish starts down this line but plays 27. .. B-g4 instead of Q-h2+, and says mate in 20. What am I missing?> As Alderdice83 has noted above, after      Aug-24-24 Schlechter vs W E Napier, 1902   Arlekhino: Thank you for the answer and explanation, Teyss, now I see your point. You present very interesting criteria to judge and appreciate the so-called puns here at chessgames.com.      Apr-09-24 S Sjugirov vs Aronian, 2017     Mar-27-24 World Championship Candidates (2024)     Mar-20-24 Fischer vs Huebner, 1970     Feb-26-24 G Minchev vs K Kolev, 1991    Feb-11-24 Gunsberg vs J Mieses, 1903     Feb-02-24 Y Hou vs M Muzychuk, 2017     Jan-28-24 Kaidanov vs Shabalov, 1993    Jan-25-24 Velimirovic vs V Cmilyte, 2010    Jan-22-24 M Bartel vs Nepomniachtchi, 2015    Jan-15-24 K Meier vs A Niyibizi, 2014     Jan-14-24 W Hug vs Szabo, 1973     Jan-13-24 Anand vs Ponomariov, 2002    Jan-08-24 J C Hawksworth vs P Wells, 1984    Dec-27-23 Morozevich vs McShane, 2001     Dec-25-23 Pilnik vs W Adams, 1945     Dec-22-23 A Lein vs V McCambridge, 1979     Dec-19-23 Rublevsky vs E Alekseev, 2006    Dec-03-23 S Gaffagan vs J Gutman, 2011     Nov-07-23 Ehlvest vs Nijboer, 1982    Oct-29-23 Dvoirys vs K Lerner, 1985     Aug-19-23 T van Scheltinga vs N Ponce Miranda, 1939    Aug-19-23 G Padulli vs S Rosselli del Turco, 1931    Jul-07-23 Rubinstein vs Breyer, 1912     Jun-14-23 A Fier vs R Britton, 2017    Jun-12-23 I Rabinovich vs R Plats, 1922     Jun-09-23 H W Peachey vs L Serraillier, 1898     Jun-07-23 H Steiner vs C Jauregui, 1953    Jun-03-23 M Yilmaz vs Wojtaszek, 2021    May-27-23 Martin Perez vs Catalan, 1981     Mar-26-23 Saemisch vs F Herzog, 1924     Mar-14-23 A Zapolskis vs G Price, 2022     Mar-13-23 Kuzubov vs A Zubov, 2014     Mar-08-23 K Moeckel vs L Zinn, 1954     Mar-06-23 Ikes vs Groncki, 1960     Feb-28-23 G Szabo vs N Stepanencu, 2023     Feb-07-23 O Sarapu vs B J Halpin, 1961     Feb-04-23 H Berliner vs H Bullwinkel, 1955     Sep-15-22 V Bergraser vs M Weiner, 1973     Aug-16-19 Korchnoi vs J Bellon Lopez, 1986     Jul-04-17 Lautier vs Glek, 1997    Jul-03-17 Hoogovens Group A (1997)    Jun-12-17 A Dadian vs Doubrava, 1896
