@ChessVonDoom 1. Qa8+ Kh7 2. Rxh6+ Kxh6 (if gxh6 Nf6+ wins the Queen) 3. Qh8+ Kg6 4. Qh5#

For black 1. ... Rxg2+ wins the exchange after 2. Kxg2 Bxa1

Hope that's right.

@ChessVonDoom How many hours a day do you play?

[Malcolm Clarke @mal255]

@chess_feed exf5 en passant!

Of course Andy Burnham's jog was staged. Fit and healthy and ready to lead. 😁

@WeAreWST Great stuff from someone so young. And her rest play will be well-practised for when she is older and fully grown.

We also live in a word where Health Secretary's use AI to write their letters. The dashes of death, and the use of "it matters" are dead giveaways. Come on Wes, you want to be Prime Minister!

Now exonerated, Angela is now free to enter a Labour leadership contest. Good timing for her?

[Angela Rayner @AngelaRayner]

I welcome HMRC’s conclusion, which has cleared me of any wrongdoing.

I have been exonerated by HMRC of the accusation that I deliberately sought to avoid tax.

When purchasing a home of my own with a mortgage, I did not own any other property and had no personal financial interest in the court-instructed trust set up to manage my son’s financial award. I was advised by experts that I should pay stamp duty at the standard rate.

I set out to pay the correct amount of tax. I took reasonable care and acted in good faith, based on the expert advice I received, and HMRC has accepted this.

I have always sought to act with integrity, and I believe politicians should be held to high standards - that is why I resigned from government and cooperated fully with HMRC. 

I wanted to ensure that I paid every penny that I owed, and have done so. I am relieved that my family can now move on - and that I can get on with my job.

Where has the cue ball gone?

Dennis Taylor pays a lovely tribute to John Virgo 😢

According to a pollster, Lord Hayward, he expects this to happen next week in the local elections.

Reform - gain 1550
Lib Dems - gain 150
Tories - lose 600
Labour - lose 1850

Even after winning Reform will still be "in opposition" nationally, so expect the gains to continue.

@Patrick1989S Looks good. Does it work with lower league teams?

[Malcolm Clarke @mal255]

@tars75 @ecfchess @4NCL Looks a great night in a good setting.

[Malcolm Clarke @mal255]

@duckiex14 This is completely inappropriate as a response from a league Chairman and he should be removed. Complaints are often written in sharp, direct language but responses must be professional.

@VolledigG @lukeakehurst Your profile literally says “live laugh love and be kind online”. 🫢😜

Remembering arguably the greatest raconteur the world has ever known, the Carry On actor, comedian, and very complex man Kenneth Williams was born 100 years ago today. Oh matron.

@ItsAdamFM Stay well

[Malcolm Clarke @mal255]

Very sad to learn that the voice of Snooker, John Virgo, has passed away. Thoughts with this family and friends and the commentary won't be quite the same without him.

[Malcolm Clarke @mal255]

@tomorrowsmps Christian might defect to Reform now to ensure he remains in his seat.
