Moviegique will be along later with the movie thread. As always, the chess/dress pr0n thread is an open thread, so there is no such thing as an off-topic comment.

Dress Pr0n For The 'Ettes:

Note: I've received a few requests for photos of White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany, but there simply aren't very many that I like. These are the best I can find. Most of the photos have her standing behind the podium, so she's mostly not visible. She wears nice dresses, but most of the time, they can't be seen.

Beginner Problem - Black To Play

5Bk1/1p3pp1/2p2n1p/4rq2/P3p3/2Q2nP1/BPP1RPKP/5R2 b - - 0 1
1... Qh3+
2.Kxh3
If 2.Kh1?? then Qxh2#
2...Rh5+
3.Kg2 Rxh2#
Intermediate Problem - White To Play
![20201024 - Problem 2.jpg](http://ace.mu.nu/archives/20201024 - Problem 2.jpg)
k1r2r2/pp6/4NN2/2p5/1qn2Q2/8/PP6/K4R2 w - - 0 1
1.Qb8+ Kxb8
Not 1...Rxb8?? 2.Nc7# with the smothered mate.
2.Nd7+ Ka8
3.Nc7+ Rxc7
4.Rxf8+ Rc8
5.Rxc8#
Advanced Problem - White To Play
How does White achieve a clearly winning position?
Hint: Take advantage of Black's poorly positioned, hemmed in rook
![20201024 - Problem 3.jpg](http://ace.mu.nu/archives/20201024 - Problem 3.jpg)
4K2R/2p5/3k1rq1/3P4/1P4p1/3Q4/2P5/8 w - - 0 1
Answer:
1.Qxg6 Rxg6
Now White can take advantage of Black's hemmed-in rook.
2.Kf7 Rg5
3.Kf6 Rxd5
4.c4 Rd4
5.Rd8+ Kc6
6. Rxd4 and wins
or 3...Kxd5 4.Kxg5 g3 5.Rh3 g2 6.Rg3 Kc4 7.Kf5 Kxb4 8.Ke5 g1=N 9.Rxg1 is pretty much the same thing.
Hope to see you all next week!

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.
