In chessy news, as I write the Speed Chess Championship semifinals are underway in Paris, Hikaru v. “Puer” and then the long-awaited Magnus v. Niemann. The players are present to each other but playing on computers with screens between them. I think this fosters really fast play in time crunches. There is a live audience. I tuned in for a moment, but I’ll save the video for supper-time viewing before another episode of Endeavour.
White 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.
I received a note from the monks of Norcia which showed a liturgy with their new Abbot. What grabbed my attention were the vestments. The last pontifical set I had made for the TMSM was precisely of this fabric. I have a chasuble of my own.
I’m set up for a Requiem later, but here is a quick view.
The monks of Norcia make GREAT beer. Try some! Perhaps your priests would like some.

Those are some of the finest vestments I’ve seen. Beautiful.
Sigh…oh, what a heartache that view of Rome gives me…during the year I lived and studied there, I passed St. Andrea della Valle every day, passing between our Albergo near the Campo de Fiori and our classrooms in Via Monterone…
Those are beautiful vestments, Father. Can you tell us where they were made? Also, I would love to see your other vestments, even if they are not overly decorated. I always like looking at vestment designs! Thank you!
