In chess news…. alas I was not able to watch since I was with a big group of priests, some diocesan, some of a certain priestly fraternity for super chow and great chat. His dictis, Wesley dealt with Levon with a tie breaker yesterday to take the lower bracket. On the women’s side, diminutive 13 yr old Alice Lee seesawed against Paikidze and rose to victory in their lower bracket. Some of the written commentary was fun: “In the tiebreaker, Lee understandably decided to avoid a return trip to Shabalov Land, an amusement park she clearly didn’t enjoy nearly as much as her more experienced opponent.”
In college hockey news, the noble scholar athlete Gophers of MN (1) sounded defeated the Griffins of arrogant-effete Jesuit-founded Canisius (4). Griffins are, of course, a symbol for Christ while Golden Gophers are, of course, a symbol of the 13-Stipped Ground Squirrel. And yet, we don’t care because everything Jesuit must be defeated. Ite Rodentes!

Lee is also a Minneapolis native – in an interview earlier this week she mentioned being part of the U of MN’s high school math program (UMTYMP). Her play has been spectacular – she put up a darn good fight against Krush, whose dominance in the US Chess makes coming in 2nd a darn good achievement (something the men’s side has dealt with for the last decade with Magnus).
This one was tough for me. Had to find the right first move.
1. Rh4+ Kxh4
2. Qxh6+ Qh5
3. Qf4+ Qg4
4. Qxg4#
