| jimmyjimmy: I enjoyed the poem quoted earlier by "Once." It is actually a song by Simon & Garfunkel and the appropriate title of their boxed-set compilation. They are indeed old friends. Paul Simon frequently referred to himself as a poet rather than a musician. |

| jimmyjimmy: I didn't notice that if black captured the knight, it would allow white to promote his pawn. Black has no choice but to resign. I missed this one. |

| jimmyjimmy: I think of myself as a novice but I thought this was an easy puzzle. I solved it in approximately 60 seconds...but my answer is totally different. Tell me why my solution is not plausible. I have checked and rechecked but I still think it is a quicker mate:

| jimmyjimmy: I have correctly answered two in a row.That is unusual for me. Someone said black is played by a woman. That is an odd name for a lady. I think I would definitely change it to Naomi, or anything similar. It is not unlike Johnny Cash singing about "A Boy Named Sue." |

| jimmyjimmy: I love Mondays! The Monday puzzles rebuild my confidence after my confidence comes crashing down with a thud most other days. I got this right in about a minute. I usually struggle for a long time. |
