Hi Ken,
At this time of year a few prayers might be appropriate, particularly as you are asking for a miracle.
I think that the three kings that went to Bethlehem may all have been black. And is it possible that that the fourth one was waiting outside holding the horses? Or perhaps he'd sloped off for a pint.
There's more chance of one of them coming to your rescue than any of the ones in your problem game.
Have a good Christmas despite them.
Richard.

Richard, I am duly impressed! I thought with those black kings being buried that it was impossible, but I thought I would give Goodsol's Anne Bancroft (i.e. the Miracle Worker) a shot at it. How about this one? Josephine #1695401088 The best score I can muster is 49. Happy Holidays!
