thx wayne !!

nice 

Thanks, abo_tammem_2012, for a really excellent puzzle in comment #102.

I didn't see the logic of it until the very end.  I would have gone astray on all but the last two moves.  And I truthfully don't think there is any alternative way white could win it, but I'll have to look at some of the alternative routes for the king to get to e-1 (with a rook at f2 and the other rook preventing a free queen at a1)

Yes, the sequences of the moves could be changed, and white could even let black promote at a1  delaying the checkmate one additional move (then capture the promoted piece), but the basic ploy of interposing the King on e1 or on f1 (to allow the Bishop to capture at f2 and be captured to discover a checkmate), is the way for white to win and probably the only way for white to win

easy :)

too simple!

Interesting comment.  I believe the idea of a 7-day-week  (the week cycle most common in today's world) comes from the judeo/christian bible, but I'm no authority on those things.  I do know that other "weeks" (work cycles) have been defined in some cultures and countries, but the 7-day cycle is the most common today.  Even among the Judeo-Christians, there is difference of opinion about which days are the beginnings and endings of the week, but most of the calendars I have seen show Sunday as the first day and Saturday as the last. 

Chessgames.com, does follow the pattern you suggest.  The hardest ("insane") problems are on Sundays, and the easiest are posted on Mondays.

Indeed, it is all pretty arbitrary.  Here in the US, most working people have Sunday off from work, so would have more time to work on difficult puzzles on that day. 

Simple.

Good puzzle.
