As a progressive Christian, I'm SO THANKFUL to finally see a US politician who doesn't wield his faith as a tool of division and hate but as an inspiration for change that helps people in need. I wish him all the success at flipping tables and fighting the power.

    Bit late so my yesterday was Tuesday.

    I dropped the kids off at healthcare, then went to collect a cat bed from some guy, then made two trips to Ikea with the cargo bike I had rented to get some kitchen cupboards I needed (I recently moved), then picked up the kids, then went with them to the public swimming pool where we had lots of fine for three hours and the kids practiced diving, then went out for burgerd, then went home, but two very exhausted kids to bed, then spent two hours searching personal documents and filling out forms for (today's) signing of the contract for the new job I'm starting next week.

    It was a long day, but good.

    I agree the response is so good that it feels scripted, but the truth is probably that he has it kind of scripted in his head. He's probably dealt with similar questions or attacks many many times so by now it's not surprising that he has this type of immaculate answer to it ready to deliver.

    Advent of Chess is an advent calendar by Offerspill, Norway's biggest chess club with World Champion Magnus Carlsen as founder and chairman. The club is open to anyone, and we host weekly tournaments online. For more information about the club and how to join, see our registration page.

    Every day until Christmas, you will be able to open a door to reveal a chess problem. Each correctly answered problem is awarded one ticket in the drawing for a chess board signed by Magnus Carlsen!

    The problems in the calendar won't be the usual chess problems you'd find in a book of chess puzzles. Instead of finding the best move, you'll get problems where you need to find out which moves have been played in the past, or the sequence of moves that lead to a certain position. You'll find unorthodox problems like helpmates, selfmates, and retrograde analysis problems, but no "Mate in 2" or "White to play and win"!
