You’ve been kidnapped. The characters from the last TV show you watched are trying to rescue you. Who’s coming to save you?

--

After some mildly concerning antics and at least one song, I should be rescued by the time the credits roll.

A nifty ending from one of my recent games on @lichess.org - This is both a “pure mate” in the technical sense (king prevented from moving to each adjacent square for exactly one reason), AND also the first time that I’ve ever delivered checkmate by moving one of my knights to the furthest rank.

I literally stopped in my tracks when I saw this cloud iridescence while out on a walk. It didn't look like something that could be real and physical, more like a rendering glitch. Remember degaussing a CRT monitor?

A tactic that presented itself in one of my recent games - white to move and gain material in 3.

You can message me for the answer, but you’ll know it when you see it.
