You might recognise me from such twitter profiles as @HowHorseyMove To make things as awkward as possible I decided to use a different account name here. Come find me on Chess.com and Lichess.org

Lucy Connolly pleaded guilty, was convicted under legislation introduced by Thatcher, and was sentenced under guidance brought in under Boris Johnson.

But I guess that's not enough to stop someone cashing in on the right wing sympathy circuit thanks to the fine brains at the Telegraph.

I really regret giving away all my original green spine editions when growing up.

I've bought back a few of my favourites.

City Of Thieves was the best!

If it helps, I live in Fiji but will happily fly to London to receive the prize. Does tipping my pilot count?

I initially couldn't find a good defence for white from Bc5, but then looked at the other replies and saw the actual answer. Emotional roller-coaster

Curious how the chess bot handles puzzles with multiple variations, does any valid answer work?
