Well, I like fine writing even more than chess -- and I like chess a lot.

So, I liked this blog.

Or are we all sprinkled, in some fashion, with greatness. Or perhaps at least a nice spaniel. Or maybe a cat.

Depends on if you mean Lichess or an official rating. If I had a FIDE rating I assume it would be around 1600.

there may be ways to mate in 4, but the quickest one is three. i had the engine solve it for me.
