Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I liked today’s daily puzzle a lot.

Maybe because I solved it, but it’s very logical and not too hard to calculate all the way through.

I solved it too! I realised what was needed, though I didn’t think through all the moves in advance I got them all right.

I didn’t immediately get the solution. The idea I had was marginally winning though.

I though Rxf5 was good enough but it’s probably drawing.

I suppose around 0.34? is more drawing than marginally winning! But imagine the look of surprise after that move in a game!

That’s the value of always going through the checklist routine of “Are there any checks? Are there why captures? Are there any threats?” every move.

Well done Meglet (in a non-patronising way honest)

It's Sunday and I solved the puzzle no mistakes no hints. I'm considering retiring on this high.

Me too for yesterday’s Sunday toughie and that’s very rare.

We must be getting smarter, what else could it be?!

I didn't solve today though. Should've retired.
