Every time @charlottechurch.bsky.social says anything on any topic at all, I think to myself if that person was running for office i would vote in a heartbeat. Absolute hero!

Reading this was a joy and I would highly recommend!
Autism is such a contrary and complicated thing it can be really hard to write about but this book is pitch perfect (pls excuse the pun). Full of life and full of love. So glad I have read it.

Qc5 to protect the pawn...?
Yes, but a thousand other terrible things too.
The stench coming from this pair of arseholes is horrendous.
Fabulous, I will watch. Thank you!
Ah yes, I saw the other comment on this puzzle. I think i heard Hikaru once saying that in puzzles he always analyses possible takes and checks first, and goes from there.
I think it's because after Nc6 the computer can't save its queen whatever it does (unless you blunder).
I would consider pawn to g5... then bishop to h3... ?
Famous comedian Ronnie Barker
Not famous not comedian me.
My adoring family have told me I resemble Ronnie Barker in my new glasses.
They are completely wrong, but somehow it feels like a particular point in life has now been reached.
Heartbreak for Ding Liren. Congratulations to Gukesh. Incredible stuff.
I say blur him out and dub the sound with someone else saying his lines. Saying the words completely flat and without emotion out of sensitivity.
Uppa towen!
They let you make as much noise as you like in our local library now. Anything goes.
I like to imagine the king jumps over the Rook when they castle. I also think they should bring in a 'dragon' piece that is like a queen but can fly.
I will do, thank you!
I'll be honest, I read the other replies after scratching my head for a long time looking for a winning move that doesn't exist. Finding a draw is hard though, even if I knew that was what I was looking for. Fun position to look at with so much hanging though, enjoyed it.
I would think I was being clever by blocking the black bishop with Knight to E5. Then I would lose the my Rook and promptly resign.
Loving Comfort Shag! Thank you Bluesky!
Looking forward to reading this. Autism is our household has produced an obsession with the music of Iron Maiden in our boy. When he is interested in something, he is really interested!
Isabel is my nemesis !
"and there is nothing more to be done here" is quite the catchphrase. Yeah the historic stuff is brilliant.
Nice work. Does this mean you have reached the dreaded Isabel?
Joel Millerchip should be on bluesky by now.
A complete fail for me. I think I realised that e5 was the crucial square and the diagonals were important, but I couldn't calculate the exchanges. Very nice puzzle though.
My handle is so valid!
Great thing about chess is ability at all levels is very obviously completely relative. Pretty much everyone is terrible relative to Magnus, and he is terrible relative to a computer.
