Pun Intended

I love a good pun. Gimme your favorite chess-related pun and maybe (you can hope) I'll die laughing. To start off, here are 2 from erik (yeah, that erik):

"Reti or not, here I come!"

"Come follow me and I will make you a Fischer of men..."

Give a man a Fisch and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to Fischer and you feed him for a lifetime.

That's the spirit!

If you play the Sicilian and he makes an offer of a pawn, you can't refuse.

Caro-Kann but I cannot

I don't know if it accurately fits the dictionary definition of "pun," but I recall reading of a chess team that adopted the name (if I remember it correctly),  "Benoni Saemisch on Ruy with a Caissa Falkbeer."

Don't just hang around while your father is working. You need to give him compensation for all the hard work he has done. Now go phil that dor with cement so it doesn't come lose during the level 5 pawn storm heading for this town. Also while your at it go tal your brother to get down here and contribute. This family needs to be harmonious in order to be the most effective. Oh and have you practiced your Fien cello lately?If not you need to go do that because your father is in opposition to you continuing to take lessons because you never practice. You simply are not in a position to refuse. We pay for all of your material possessions.

I thought up ten of them but wanted to ensure I only posted the ones that I knew would elicit a good laugh. Unfortunately, after using my wife as a sounding board, it turned out that no pun in ten did.

As the janitor sat down to solve the Plaskett's puzzle, he had four nights on the board, no pawn intended.
