Daily Rome Shot 741

Posted on 8 July 2023 by Fr. John Zuhlsdorf

In Rome, in the Borghese Garden the summer Shakespeare season starts at a replica of the Globe, similar to the one on the Surrey side in London.  HERE

The Rapid portion of the Rapid and Blitz concluded in Zagreb.  Magnus is still down in the standings while young Gukesh beat Obi Wan… et um… Vishy Anand.    Blitz is next.  Fabi is leading, tied with Nepo.

Please remember me when shopping online. Thanks in advance. US HERE – UK HERE  These links take you to a generic “catholic” search in Amazon, but, once in and browsing or searching, Amazon remembers that you used my link and I get the credit.

White to play and mate in TWO.

NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.

    This puzzle appears to be a metaphor. The solution:
    1. Kd1 (such rank indietrism!) Kf1 (forced into failure)
    2. Qe1# (kiss, not of healing, but of death)
