Hey! luc****.***go@gmail.com – Your email box is full!

In chessy news, the tournament in Zagreb continues in the blitz phase. Fabi has pulled away from the pack going into the final day with 4.5 points lead with 21. My guy Wesley is in second with 16.5, tied with MVL.

White can mate in 4.

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

The traditional Benedictines at Le Barroux make wonderful wine from the ancient vineyards of the Avignon Popes. Enjoy some and help them at the same time!

    The key to this mate is driving Black’s King to the square where White can use his pawn on e5 to full advantage.

    1. Qd6# Kc8
    (If Black plays . . . Ke8, 2. Rf8# is mate.)
    2. Qc6# Kd8
    (2. . . . Kb8, 3.Rf8#, Ne8, 4. RxN mate.)
    3. Rf8# Ke7
    4. Qd6##
    (Again, if 3. . . . Ne8, 4. RxN mate.)
