Hales Corners Challenge XXXIII!

Hola darlings!

Happy Autumnal Equinox - or whatever it's called. Sorry I haven't been around lately, but I've been busy with the garden beds, lawn upkeep, and since we hit a record temperature a few weeks back of 129 degrees F on the "heat index" (you know, what the heat actually feels like when you think you're on fire but you're not because you don't see any flames on your body), I haven't been up to doing much of anything other than watching videos of - can you believe this, probably not, I can't either:  lawn mowers online doing good deeds for bad yards.  

NOW, let's get to the fun stuff.  It's hard to believe, but Goddesschess has been sponsoring special money prizes for chess femmes since Hales Corners Chess Challenge VIII - that's Challenge 8 for you non-Roman numeral folks out there.  And here we are at Challenge XXXIII - that's Challenge 33 for you non-Roman numeral folks.  A long stretch of Goddesschess sponsorship, I can't believe it myself, Geez Louise!  All Goddesschess money prizes are in addition to whatever the players may qualify for.
