  1. White to move and mate in 3.

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

    I watched the opening ceremony for the FIDE World Chess Championship in Singapore. It was cringeworthy awful. I trust the coverage of the games will not be so relentlessly pushy and crass.

    For the first game Gukesh has white and Ding has black. First game is Monday, November 25, at 4:00 a.m. ET / 10:00 CET / 2:30 p.m. IST / 5:00 p.m. local time in Singapore.

    Like Fr. Willie Doyle, the “Trench Priest” of World War I, who had a cultus almost immediately after his death, Bl. Miguel Pro is an embarrassment to the modern Church and to the Jesuit order.

  4. B says:

    KKK and Nazism is growing and members are becoming bolder every day. Sadly they are seeded within conservative groups. Perhaps such anti-Catholic sentiment will appear again in the near future (I sure hope not!).

  5. JonPatrick says:

    @B, do you have reliable objective sources for your claim that the KKK and Nazism is growing? Other than mainstream news media comparing Trump to Hitler and his rallies compared to Nazi Party rallies in the 1930s.

    It is my impression that most of the anti-Catholic sentiment these days comes from the Left e.g. groups like the Southern Poverty Law Center. This sentiment seems to have infiltrated our Federal Government as demonstrated by its enforcement of the FACE act for example.

  6. jaykay says:

    Ah yes, that’d be the same KKK that funded the Mexicans who murdered Fr. Pro. And too many, many others. Tolerance. Yep.

    I don’t think our one-off commenter “B” does irony, JonPatrick.

    It’s a foreign concept to leftists.

  7. B says:

    Wow! I am not a leftist (actually quite a funny statement since the person has no clue who I am). But I stand by my statement.

  8. jaykay says:

    Fair enough, B. But perhaps, in standing by your statement, you could provide the reliable objective sources for same that JonPatrick referred to?
