Wanton Destruction!

Okay, in the spirit of the thread, I'm going to post a game I played against that fellow we all know so well.  NN :)

I thought Won Ton Destruction was when you knock over your bowl of soup?

That joke was already told on page 1.

There's never anything good on page 1, so I always skip over it.

Thanks, Prudentia. Nice pawn fork to really push the resignation.

And for you jokers on here:

Wu's Family Won Ton recipe:

Equal parts 80/20 chuck and ground pork butt. Add minced scallions, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, salt & pepper to taste. Blanche chopped bok choy and tofu, drain well through a cheesecloth, and add to taste. For a more exciting experience, add kimchi to taste. Mix just well enough to distribute, do not overwork. Refrigerate, and using batches at a time, spoon a teaspoon of filling onto a skin and seal with diluted eggwash into desired shape (I prefer round florets - fold into a triangle and bring two corners together). Boil, steam, deep or pan fry as desired. As potstickers, steam first then pan fry. Deep fried wontons will freeze and reheat well. Enjoy with sesame oil, red pepper flake, black pepper, and vinegar in soy sauce.

Thanks for that, Wu. We do have some cooks in our family who enjoy experimenting with "oriental"-style recipes.

My folks back in the day would make some 300-600 at a time. Those were some really delicious times growing up. Unforgettable. If you boil, put the wontons in a bowl with a little of the broth and maybe some scallion garnish and s&p and a spoonful or two of the dipping sauce. Fantastic - you can gobble dozens of them at a time that way.

I liked wontons until I got a job in a chinese restaurant and had to make thousands of them a week.

Almost every culture has a wonton of some sort or another. Korean wontons are rather different from Chinese ones. You should try some in spite of your kitchen experience with thousands. But: what about the chess? No one wants to post any games? :(

I will just link to mine:

I suppose it depends on how you classify a wonton.

I did notice once that pretty much every food in the world has some type of meat wrapped in bread or pasta (very similar food items). Sometimes baked, sometimes boiled or fried.

Here, in Thailand, there is khanom jeep(basically wontons) and salapao, meat baked inside a soft white rice based bread.

This is a righteous topic WU.  The haters can kiss off.  If you ain't funny you got no business posting here!

What's that about?

Ahh, you guys are talking about soup.  I was replying to comments made weeks ago.  I hate that the forums always start with the oldest responses.  :)

I will insist that the following game merits a wonton, in that (somewhat maniacally?) I decide to attack an innocent but underdefended b pawn with stronger pieces in a string of attacks that can only be justified by the fact white could not castle. I propose that we rank the destruction by one, two, wontons, etc.

Or five wontons for five pieces taken in a row.

Here, I use multi-pins to blow up black's K-side and end by taking the queen. This bloodbath ends with a material score of 28-8. That's a difference of five rooks.

Remark re: last: 16. Ne4 loses. But note that this is easier to spot from black's side of the board! I think this game demo's the general admonition not to fianchetto both bishops as well.

Here's one from an OTB Open in Ottawa, a couple of decades ago:
