The wonderful traditional Benedictines at Norcia make GREAT beer and you can have some. Three different kinds.

Black to play. Even if white plays the very best moves, it’s going to end badly, but it might take a while. See if white can avoid the fast mates and linger a bit longer against the inevitable forced by black in, I think, 10.

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

I’m so glad to see more of you chiming in with answers!

In Chess News, the World Cup continues in Baku. Men and Women are playing concurrently. Lots of big players are getting knocked out. For example, Peter Svidler defeated Jorden van Foreest, who gets to go home. Magnus is winning. Big surprise. Shakhriyar Mamedyarov is out. Gukesh continues to win. My guy Wesley So continues to win or draw nail-biters. Nepo is still moving ahead. I look foward to see what happens with Fabiano, David Howell, and Erigaisi. Also, today, Prag v. Hikaru. That should be brutal.  It’s down now to 1/16.
