Meanwhile,… get chess stuff. Do you have a good set?
White to move.
NB: I’ll hold comments with solutions ’till the next day so there won’t be “spoilers” for others.
3:16 isn’t just in John.
I’ve also added a new B16 mug to the store with a magnificent quote about the purpose of creation.
Meanwhile, in the saga of chess.com’s evil feline, the soul annihilating Mittens has a new colleague who has replaced “Scaredy Cat”, “Angry Cat” and “Grumpy Cat”.
I’m not quite sure what this is about. Perhaps a shot at a thoroughly unlikeable “royal”? The scarf suggests the Union Jack.
UPDATE: I had a bit of a rag chew on ZedNet today. One in PA one in GA.

I believe it’s a reference to a new movie involving an evil little-girl robot:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M3GAN
The “M3gan” bit is in reference to a new movie that’s coming out. I saw a trailer a few weeks ago and it’s creepy. Some inventor creates an AI robot that she gives to her niece as a companion. And the robot goes a little too far to protect the girl.

I am also on Chesscom (same handle as here) and just found that the movie robot has now “taken care of” the last remaining cat other than Mittens. This somehow increased its rating from the 1250 I defeated yesterday to a whopping 3000. I was not able to defeat Catspurrov, rated 1400, before his unfortunate demise, let alone Mittens, rated “1” for number-one?, who “she” is “coming for” next. Very impressed that you were able to defeat all of them with three or fewer assisted moves!
1. Rc8+ Qe8
2. Bxd5+ Kf8
3. Rxe8 Kxe8
White is still behind, but has caught up a lot.
1. Rc8+ Qf8 Forced move and lets the white bishop live another day.
2. Bxd5+ Kh8 Forced move that takes away the queens support.
3. Rxf8++ Game over, man.
