SeanAzarin: I think that's a new personal record... they used my pun seven years after I submitted it. Nice game by Knight with a lovely epaulette mate. |

SeanAzarin: <An Englishman: Good Evening: The "Wagner-Zwitersch Gambit." Just when I think that I've heard of every possible opening name...> Have you heard of the Double Duck Formation?
Or the Mosquito Gambit?
Or perhaps the Kangaroo Defense? |

Jul-13-22 Pelikan vs R A Redolfi, 1957 
|
SeanAzarin: Wow. Two pawns up -- connected passed pawns at that, far advanced -- and the exchange of Rooks is forced for all intents and purposes. Black could have resigned several moves earlier. |
