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!

Very good! I spent a large part of a train journey from Southampton to Reading yesterday staring at that without success!

Good point. Failing to plan …

Quite pleased with this as the winning move is neither a check nor a capture, but we’re looking for a forcing move.

It may be straightforward, but I was pleased to spot it & opponent resigned soon after.

That had me seriously puzzled. Cos I carefully read your first post and not the second in case it contained the answer!

The winning move is a capture hence Jules saying he lied.
