CRAZY game yesterday in day 3 of the (mouthful alert!) Division I Winners Quarterfinal match in the CrunchLabs Masters 2024. “Puer” (aka Alireza Firouzja) stumbled into a NINE MOVE LOSS to Fabiano Caruana. The commentators, Rombert Hess and David Howell were musing about a possible line and then Puer did it! Watch this!
I am off to OTB as soon as I can finish this.

Interim, motus ad lusorem cum militibus albis pertinent. Scaccus mattus, scilicet mors regis, duobus in motis veniat.
NB: Detineam explicationes in crastinum, ne vestrae interrumpantur commentationes.
Is today’s riddle deceptively simple?
1. Rxd7, Nxd7 produces stalemate. Not good enough.
So:
1. xd7, Nxd7
2. Rxd7
Checkmate.
Mors regis duobus in motis:
1. c6c7! Scilicet . . . RxR, 2. Qe8##.
Et scilicet . . . Nb7 aut Ne6, 2. RxR##.
Ad finem, . . . KxR, 2. Pc8=N! duobus mattus.
