Everyone has become hateful, no two people can speak and discuss - yelling and spitting is how it is

RE: Solve it, if you dare !

@WL set up a board (online) and play out the moves. I don't need to, I can visualise them

Black: BXN threatens mate in 2 via BXPch, KB8 NC6 mate)
RXN, BXP ch, RXN prevents NC6 mate and BXP prevents RXB
KB8 QXR,
RF5 reduces the loss to a rook

Actually White can also play QXR!, Black QXR and that reduces the loss to a Knight

RE: Solve it, if you dare !

@wl No, you are mistaken. White cannot take the queen because that results in mate, instead he takes the black knight preventing the mate, and black checks with the bishop first, then takes the rook with the queen. White loses either way. I can still many moves ahead even at this age

RE: Solve it, if you dare !

...but then the exchange is lost due to BE4 ch... Resigns is the right move

RE: Solve it, if you dare !

RXN, BXP ch, KB8,QXR,RF5 reduces the loss to a rook

RE: Solve it, if you dare !

BXN, Resigns no next two moves

Somehow I am missing out on the whole point of this thread - would someone like to fill me in? Is it possible I've managed to evade said trolls? I do pick and choose but cannot believe I am so skilled in avoiding the puddles.

RE: Beirut, Lebanon.

Shades of Tianjin explosion 2015

Chemicals stored in the port area self-igniting, dry nitrocellulose, then ammonium nitrate. Over 100 firefighters were killed in that event. There seem to be common features ... including location of residences and public buildings

RE: What happened to China

China has stopped publishing numbers.
Nevertheless new outbreaks occur, schools close, towns close, cities close provinces close.

Chet Atkins, Les Paul - two gods!
