Saturday Afternoon Chess Thread 07-27-2019

TheJamesMadison's movie thread will be posted later today. And as always, the chess/dress pr0n thread is an open thread, so there is no such thing as an off-topic comment.

Easier Problem - White To Play (1027)

Black is obviously on the ropes. What's the best way to finish him off?

Goal: White can force mate in 4, no matter what Black does
Hint: Discovered check is the best check

Oh, and you morons will be pleased to know that this week's chess babe has a twin sister:

Gimme Two!

WIMs Irina & Marina Baraeva

Note: that cryptic line of letters and numbers you see underneath each board diagram is a representation of the position in what is known as "Forsyth-Edwards Notation", or F.E.N. It's actually readable by humans. Most computer applications nowadays can read FEN, so those of you who may want to study the position, you can copy the line of FEN and paste into your chess app and it should automatically recreate the position on its display board. Or, Windows users can just "triple click" on it and the entire line will be highlighted so you can copy and paste it into your chess app.

___________

So that about wraps it up for this week. Chess thread tips, suggestions, bribes, rumors, threats, and insults may be sent to my yahoo address: OregonMuse little-a-in-a-circle yahoo dott com.
