ROME 24/3– Day 7: Oooops!

Sunrise: 05:59. Sunset: 19:33.

Ave Maria… still 18:45. The 15 minute shift is coming up.

The Roman Station is Santa Maria Maggiore.

Last night, the full Moon over the Campo de’ Fiori. This is the full Moon after the Vernal Equinox.

A midday meal. Bread, butter, anchovies.

Last night ossobuco at humble but reliably good place which hasn’t ever disappointed except when they are closed and I want to go there.

The altar of repose is ready.

Mass was celebrated for my monthly benefactors for whom I am so grateful. I ask your prayers as well.

There are slots available for the TLM pilgrimage in September if God wills (and few more sign ups).

Meanwhile, black to move and mate in 4.

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

In chessy news, there is a tournament going on in Karlsruhe, Germany, the GRENKE Classic, which has been on hold for several years. It’s a double round-robin, with two rounds per day. Games are “fast-classical” time control, 45 minutes with a 10-second increment. Yesterday, Magnus blundered against Richard Rapport, who then drew with Ding Liren. Rapport is on top so far.

The oooops.

From the video it looked like Rapport smelled blood in the water but deliberately slowed down to either twist the knife or make sure he wasn’t getting suckered. Carlsen looked miffed and made sure he didn’t lose the race for the door.

teomatteo you are in the middle of the path, Enjoy!
