Hey sa*****@*********king.ws ! My email note was kicked back as undeliverable. New email address?
In chessy news, I read that lots of dosh has been raised to fund more “freestyle” tournaments (aka 960 aka Fisher Random). Also, Liem Le prevailed in Biel. In St. Louis there is a US Senior and Junior Championship underway for the top 10 players across three divisions – juniors, girls, and seniors – competing for more than $135,000 in prizes.
I, on the other hand, spent some time with the pesky King’s Gambit yesterday.
Black to move, win material and a winning position.
NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
Priestly chess players, drop me a line. HERE
I’ve been working a little more with my Federated build of “Element”, which is a sort of Zoom substitute. Zoom, as you might now, is AI mining everything… everything you say. Federated has replacements for all sorts of SaaS (Software as a Service) for a great deal less money and your data is YOURS. I’ve been using YouTube for daily Mass streams and I’d like to move away to a more secure mode, thus I am looking more at Federated’s “Element”. Yesterday I got it working with OBS. Brick by brick.
If you have a business or web presence and you are paying mucho denaro for SaaS, I’d look in Federated. Frankly, every parish and even dioceses should get the heck away from all the popular services which are expensive and mining data for AI.
Hey Fathers! How about a clerical Guayabera shirt for the hot summer days? I have one. Super practical and cooler in more ways than one. All sorts of lay clothes and hats, too.
Our Price: $58.50 – Reg Price: $90.00

The black queen appears to be a widow, or at least abandoned by her spouse.
Are those votive candles actually light bulbs? I’ve never encountered anything like that. Curious.
@edm: It certainly looks like it. I am familiar with them and I don’t like them.
Dear Father,
For those of us with large, young, homeschool families whose only chance to get to Rome is viewing the beautiful photos on your blog each day – would you be so kind as to label the photos so we know which church they are in and what we are looking at?
As far as the chess puzzle goes, where is the black king?? Am I missing something?
The King has been shivering away from view.
Did no one want to comment on the black pawns?
LOL!
Not a great puzzle.
