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

Nice people! Great service!

Priestly chess players, drop me a line. HERE

In chessy news… the 2024 Grand Chess Tour will begin with the Superbet Rapid & Blitz, May 8-12 in Warsaw: 9 rounds of rapid and 18 rounds of blitz. Who will be there? World number one Magnus Carlsen and the next challenger for the world title, Dommaraju Gukesh. Last year Carlsen won by holding a draw in a 124-move slug fest against Polish GM Jan-Krzysztof Duda.

3:16 isn’t just in John.

A quick reminder….

GO TO CONFESSION!
