I can’t push Benedictine wine all the time.  So, let’s break it up with Benedictine BEER. I can personally attest that it is really good, and I am not much of a beer drinker.

This isn’t all that hard, but it has a fun feature.  BLACK to move and win.

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

Priestly chess players, drop me a line. HERE

Chess news… Magnus beat Hikaru 3.5-12.5 in the Final of the 2023 Chess.com Speed Chess Championship.

My chess news… I played like a moron today, losing three straight, each time with an avoidable blunder. In my defense there were a lot of distractions. Frustrating.

On another note, I am grateful to a reader who sent, some time ago, a set of tech tools. I fixed something today and thought of you.

Also, thanks to CG who sent TOMATOES and a few other things which helpful. You are very kind.
