From Eduard Habsburg

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.

Meanwhile, Black to move.

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

Today Magnus and MVL will duke it out for the #1 spot in the AI Cup.

Also, I will be a chaplain for a very special 11-Day Traditional Catholic Pilgrimage to Poland & Prague (27 August – 6 September 6, 2024).  The dates have been selected to avoid the summer heat and crowds.

The registration link has gone LIVE and can be found HERE.

There is limited seating. Register early.

FYI: there will be a pilgrimage information webinar in the form of a 45 minute Zoom meeting on Monday, 13 November at 8 pm ET.  The link for the webinar can be found HERE and the passcode is: 656210. The webinar will be hosted by the pilgrimage company to explain the tour and itinerary, with general info on what to expect. There will be ample opportunity for Q&A.

    1. … Rd2 (threatening Qxh2#) and white can only stall mate, for example
    2. Bxg7+ Kh7
    3. Qg8+ Kxg8
    4. h3 Qg3
    5. Kh1 Qg2#

    Seeing a Rotten Ronnies in Rome is really bizarre.

    1. R-d2 (threatening Qxh2#)

    . . . . . . . . . Bxg7+ looks promising because Kxg7 sets up Q-c3+ forking Black’s Rook), so:

    2. K-h7 and Black’s Rook’s control of the 2-row assures a decisive result — quickly enough to render White’s advanced pawn irrelevant.
