Greetings,
Happy Mother’s Day to all the chess moms out there! It is a little known fact that Mother’s Day began in Germany when Wilhelm Steinitz dedicated his World Chess Championship victory on the 2nd Sunday in May, 1886 to his mother. Since she had passed on and he won the match by playing the white side in the final game, it became a custom to share a white side victory to honor a deceased mother and a black side victory to honor a living mother.
So, this week’s game is dedicated to my mother.
Here is a key position. It is black to move and make mom proud:

My mom bought me the Captain America & Falcon dolls to play with as a kid. The Falcon made it into the latest Captain America movie, but he failed to make the cut in the Marvel Heroes vs Villains Chess Set, which is just out in time for all the super hero movies this summer. You can see the cast in the photos section:
