Stierlitz Puns

I'm watching Seventeen moments of Spring, the most popular Soviet series about a Soviet spy in Berlin at the end of WW2.

In the second episode there is a scene where he plays a casual chess game with his friend Frau Saurich - an eccentric, much older woman. At this point in the series hanging out with her is shown as his only social life.

The game they play is not very consistent. We see 4 moves from one camera angle, and when the camera angle changes, we skip four moves forward to mate. The second position is impossible to reach from the starting one (e.g. multiple pawns would have to move backwards), so I used the first 4 moves as a general indication of how the second position was reached. Key notes here is Frau Saurich doesn't move any piece for her first couple moves (which I had to change very slightly on move 3), Stierlitz grabs a Bishop for move 5, and in the final position even though Stierlitz is blocking his kingside from view, once he grabs a smoke you can see a pawn is on h3.

In my opinion this is a fairly logical reconstruction, and the final position is definitely legal and reachable from the starting one. I think what likely happened is they showed the actors the move order a couple of times, but having to focus on, well, acting and their lines they messed up the moves a little bit.

With that said, here's the game:

1. d4 e6 {Starting position has a couple quirks. Stierlitz' kingside bishop and knight are switched (not shown here), but he notices and deftly corrects that on move 3; Frau Saurich, likely eager to play, starts with black - but Stierlitz doesn't seem to mind because it's a friendly game and her first move isn't doing anything anyway. For his first moves he immediately occupies the center though.}
2. e3 d5 
3. Nf3 Be7 {This is where Stierlitz notices his pieces on the kingside are messed up and deftly adjusts the Bishop from g1 to f1 while moving the Knight; I also had to switch out a pawn move to Be7 for Frau Saurich here for the move order to make sense, it's still in the same passive vein}
4. Nc3 b6 {Stierlitz following opening principles and developing his Knights before Bishops}

Do your worst!

It really does, I swear!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

Me grabbing a soda from my (what I thought was) half full 12pk...

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.
