I've been on a downswing recently, and it's probably exacerbated by forced socialization and daily conferences for collabs. Had to tackle the matter directly, tell folks at home that I know they mean well, but the best they can do now is just let me fuck off for a week or two. So far, it works.

I just noticed the problem 2 in chess puzzles has an error, and it's only a checkmate in 2 if White blunders. My bad, but IMO this is a Bobrossian happy accident that evolves the situation from a standard one to a nice discussion on ending strategies (which I hope to write after this week's presentations).

Our guests decided they want to help, and now they take turns driving. Even though and actual mechanics looked over the car, I'm still scared shitless someone drives that thing. Must be how sane parents feel.

While I haven’t been partaking, the chess puzzles have been awesome. Thanks for sharing those.
