In churchy news…
You might have read an account – not entirely responsible – that Fr. Carlos Martins, well-known for his apostolate with relics and for a recent book about exorcism – was accused of something when he was visiting Joliet with the relic of the arm of St. Jude.
It is important that you read this.
Here is the letter Fr. Carlos Martins’ attorneys sent to The Pillar, demanding a retraction of their defamatory article. pic.twitter.com/DMB7CJLbqt

Yesterday Ding took the day. Today Ding and Gukesh drew.
Motus ad lusorem cum militibus albis pertinent. Scaccus mattus, scilicet mors regis, duobus in motis veniat.

Meanwhile, BryghtLabs spiffy ChessUp 1, an electronic board which you can use to play others remotely, or play on Lichess or chess.com, or simply play its own engine is on massive sale probably because ChessUp 2 is now on the way.
In personal chessy news, yesterday at OTB I completely dominated my opponent. Felt good, since I had split my games last time.
I am grateful for the Pillar. I have supported them monetarily since their first day in business and have increased my donation multiple times after they have reported important news. That said, this is the 3rd or 4th time they’ve reported some terrible piece of news in a “were just reporting the facts” kinda way, and it turns out the real story is much less terrible. I’m not sure if it’s an impulse to be the first to get a story out, or a drive to take down rot in the church from every corner or what, but I hope they can get a handle on it.
