It takes me a little longer to get to them as I have links instead of images to speed things up abit. Still working on 3 and 4. (HAve they been solved yet?) As an aside, totally unrelated to chess, are those clownfish in your avatar? I son't recognize the habitat as sea anemone. (sic?) ID: 386495 ·
