This week’s newsletter is my mother’s day tradition: a win over my mom’s ex. Happy Belated Mother’s Day to all the chess moms out there! Don’t worry, I am taking her to a Sky Sox game too. It’s not the Eagles, but it’s not bad considering I can’t sing.

This week’s position comes from my email match with my dad. It is white to move.
