Have I won? Did I get the correct answer? Not sure about psychotic, but it sure was a refreshing break ;) @ Moon, my computers didn't break, they are all still running fine in this heatwave here, but as to my poor little unattended plants in my greenhouse... well, I just had to dash back a day early to dash some water onto them. They faired pretty well, but the mass attack of the slugs after I left the green house door was not so good. No trays of plants lost due to drought, but probably 3 trays lost due to a slug fest. But don't worry, I check mated every single slug I could find.... flaming balloons |

Congratulations to DaveSun and Moon for getting the right solution :) Better luck and timing next time Luke, but you can still have a go as Moon did after DaveSun submitted his solution ;) It's nice to get the solution first, but it's also good if you can solve the puzzle. Congratulations to all who do. Anyone else want to have a go before I put up the next puzzle? flaming balloons |

DaveSun wins Chess challenge 42 Well done DaveSun, and also to Moon for a correct solution :) Hello Dear Friends!!! :]] I'm breaking a promise to myself not to post until I was all finished with preparations for my trip, not even one post. Why? Because posting for me is like that Pringles Potato Chips ad: "I bet you can't do just one." LOL Okay, so here's my one post. A mate by White in 3. 1. Bd1-a4+; KxB (forced) 2. Ne2-c3+; Ka4-b3 (forced) 3. Nf1-d2++ Have a great time everybody. See you on the 28th. :]] GOD BLESS!!! Beets |

DaveSun wins Chess challenge 42 Well done DaveSun, and also to Moon for a correct solution :) Have a good trip Beets. The Pringle was a good one, and your one post was spot on ;) I'll leave the challenge up to see if anyone else can get it, or the mate in 5 moves (of which there are two alternatives that I will accept for a runner up ;) flaming balloons |
