Dear Readers,
As a nice, wee warm-up challenge, rearrange the letters of the plural word ‘LAMPS’ to make a singular word. Congratulations for getting ‘PSALM’, and you may like to know that that little puzzle–and indeed this article–was inspired by the beautiful Bible Psalm 119:105 “Your Word is a lamp to guide my feet and a light for my path.” No matter what answers I might be looking for, they are always to be found in God’s perfect Word within The Bible.
I am due to turn 60 later this year, while one of my sisters has her birthday today. What total should we get if we add her new age now to the two-digit number located at the end of the (four-digit) year when she was born?
You could rightly assume that my sister was born in a 20th century year and then, no matter which year I mean, its two-digit end part + my sister’s age now will always give 122, perfect for today’s blog post 😊.
of the same type, located somewhere on the d-file.
Then, it’s either Black to move and force checkmate in two moves,
or it’s White to move and force checkmate in three moves.
This delightful chess puzzle is from a real game that was played in 2012 😊.
Have fun solving it…before checking answers…
just down below!
Black wins with 1…Qxf2+ 2 Kh1 Qg1# or
White wins with 1 Rf7+ Kg8 2 Re7+! K moves 3 Rcxe8#, checkmate!
I would like to round off now by wishing everyone a very happy weekend.
With kindest wishes as always,
