Next Tournament

The Holy Trinity. Quiz for 5/27

As this is Pentecost Sunday, it is time to complete our trinity of bishop's quizzes. Clearly if black is on the move it is over with ...Qh4#, however, it is white to move. Will the spirit move you to victory?

    very nice. 2. Qc5+ check is one to be keep in mind when having a bishop. Queen and bishop on opposite color squares controlling four key squares f8 e8 f7 e7.

    I have a happy news to share with all of you. At chicago open U 1700, I tied for second with 6/7 and will be getting $2000. :) Also This should get my rating higher than 1700 :). Thanks to all the active chess playing with all of you in Buffalo over the last year.

    Congratulation, Harish! (Can I have a beer?)
    Very good. It was great idea to go to Chicago. (I wish I could. My result would not be that good, but it would be great competition.)
    Hope to see your games sometimes. Bring them Wednesday.

    Congrats. I won't be able to make it out tonight, too much homework and I have to keep up on my studies when I get out of class at 9:40. I should be able to get a few hours on Saturday though.
