King Harvest: Bb5! Beautiful and unusual.... Well done Maia! I haven't kept up with the POTD lately... is the female representation here a response to the (perplexing from my perspective) popularity of the The Queen's Gambit, on Netflix? |

King Harvest: I'm enjoying listening to players better than I admit to flailing at this "medium" puzzle lol. Not that I solved it... |
