Ich war tatsächlich mal auf nem ostfriesischen Deich unterwegs und hatte so starken Rückenwind, dass ich nicht treten musste. Habe ich nie vergessen. Ü

My bad, next time I'll provide a link right away. Here you go: https://lichess.org/analysis/4B3/8/6N1/5p2/1r4p1/6pk/7b/4K2Q_w_-_-_0_1?color=white
In what position? After 1. Bc6 Rb1+ 2. Ke2 Rb2+ 3. Kd3 Black doesn't have anything but spite checks. And if ...g2, White can now safely go Qc1 with quick checkmate to follow via Qh6+ (since g2 is covered by the bishop).
Unfortunately no. After 1. Ke2 g2 2. Qe1 Black has a simple way to win the queen, and after 2. Qc1 Black can at at the very least promote the pawn and there will never be a checkmate for White.
Perfect, you found it!
Nicely done! You solved the main (study) line. There's other lines where Black actually holds out longer, but they're much simpler to calculate.
Right, but what about 1. Bc6 Rb1+ 2. Kd2 Rxh1?
Good start. You don't have to calculate all the way to mate in that line, White gets an overwhelming advantage.
But more interestingly: What do you do after Bc6 Rb1+?
Hat Scholz mit Cum-Ex zu tun? Ich kann mich an nichts erinnern.
Thanks, I didn't know about that!
Slightly off topic, but I've been wondering: Is the "a single member of the House can call a vote to remove the Speaker" rule still in effect, or did things go back to default after McCarthy's removal?
If I had to name just one, it would always be Satie, simply because I admire how he did his own thing completely and basically composed some sort of minimalism a century before it was cool. Others I love (to name just a few): Saint-Saëns, Debussy, Schubert, Tchaikovsky, Rachmaninoff, late Mozart. More recently I've been a fan of Messiaen for his harmonic style and of Schnittke for his versatility and humour (and sometimes breathtakingly beautiful pieces). If we're talking musicians (not composers), I'd name Alicia de Larrocha, Maria João Pires and Sviatoslav Richter for piano, and Isaac Stern for violin.
