@GMIgorSmirnov If Qxh6 then Qg5 wins because of the back rank mate and any other move gives up the black queen

Why is this move brilliant? 🤔🤔

@GMIgorSmirnov Rg2? Prevents Qd5+. Any other Q move allows Qxh7#. Gxh6 allows Qxg8#

Can you solve this tricky puzzle in 60 seconds? White mates in 2 🤔🤔

There’s something very evocative about train stations. This is leaving Manchester (at Stockport) on a typically dreary Mancunian day

Now comes the point of the weekend

Just a typical Mancunian street. Typical weather too

The end of the tomatoes looks rather sad but they were delicious while they lasted

I plant and I harvest what the earth brings forth

Another harvest. Cucumbers, tomatoes and beetroot

Back from holiday to a good harvest

Not a bad harvest. Squash, potatoes, beetroot, tomatoes and a cucumber

@carol_culley @CIPFA @public_finance_ @PaulGriffithsDL You’ll be a great President. Thoroughly deserved

Excited to be back in Manchester and even more so to be starting my @CIPFA presidential year. Looking forward to @public_finance_ live today. Thanks to all at cipfa and all at Gorton monastery who did us proud last night @PaulGriffithsDL

@NewhamBooker But it’s raining 😂

About 10 kg potatoes, a lettuce and one small beetroot. First harvest of the year

@AgaMilewska123 @NewhamLondon @schoolschess @CllrSarahRuiz Thanks. I tea enjoyed our games

@ConradHall13 @NewhamLondon @schoolschess @CllrSarahRuiz Well done for winning

Excellent sportsmanship at the @NewhamLondon while the Chess in Schools and Communities Tournament @schoolschess @CllrSarahRuiz at the Stratford Old Town Hall

@CllrSarahRuiz @Terrympaul @mariamsdawood @NewhamBooker Why bother with a rematch. Foregone conclusion, surely

So ⁦⁦@Terrympaul⁩ - ⁦@ConradHall13⁩ has taken your crown!! Rematch next year? ⁦@mariamsdawood⁩ ⁦@NewhamBooker⁩

@NoContextBrits We would do something about it were it not for the tragic funding cuts over recent years

Maybe in couple of months I’ll be able to pick fresh tomatoes 🍅 and the lettuce is looking promising

Very proud to have been asked to be President of the Society of London Treasurers for the next year
