On the chess board, the bishop pair is like the legendary dancing pair Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Together, the bishops can dance across the floor and deliver checkmate with their dancing master, the king. This is a useful mating pattern to know. This week's position illustrates this pattern. Please find white's mate in three. The black king is cornered and white's bishops range free over the board like birds. The only square the black king can move to is g8.

Penicillin was discovered because a Petri dish was unchecked over the summer of 1928. With this hint in mind please try to find white's best move. In this week's position, white can win a pawn with its bishop taking black's f7 pawn, checking black. After black either captures the bishop with its f8 rook or retreats to h8, white's rook next snatches black's knight, which is no longer adequately defended. Black can win back a pawn with its rook taking white's a2 pawn.
