Monday, potpourri, nonsense, chess and who needs more?

Monday chess, potpourri, nonsense and Trump

Good morning Monday! This week I am going to try to catch up on my ‘normal’ blogging contributions, and Monday seems as good an opportunity as any.  A melange of back potpourri material and current chess events and tactics. Enjoy!

Too young to vote for or against Trump last year. Or in 4 years time. Now her future is fucked and Sally knows it. Fortunately, last week in school she learned that we are not alone in the universe…now E.T is her only hope.

Wanted: Trump Speech Writer!

Some chess from Varennes, Quebec

Between October 6 and 8 the Varennes International Open (5 rds, $16k prizes) attracted some pretty strong players. Bruzon was top seed, but the tournament was very competitive with 7 gms and 5 ims. In the end Bruzon and Sambuev took top honours with 4.5 points each.
