What does not kill you, make you stronger. Theoretically... In practice you are all dead!
Killer Homework 29/3-2023
@SamShankland will be there to bury the bodies - or dig his own grave...
I will happily start working at 5.30am on a Saturday, but I don't drink coffee and I don't like Sunday morning rounds...
This one was quite tricky! The wisdom of crowds is less prevalent when it comes to tricky questions...
This was indeed Indjic - Carlsen, Warsaw World Blitz 2021, as some people brighter than I had indicated.
We have a record number of players submitting to our two homework clubs this week. More than 40 submitted to Friendly Homework and 22 submitted to Killer Homework, although it is a brutal week. Tomorrow @SamShankland will participate as a guest solver. Can he beat 9.75?
I hope @HarikaDronavali wins the event, as she is a wonderful player and person.
If she does not, I hope FIDE apologises to her and others for not having the rules in order so a repairing or partial adjustment of colours could have happened.
