Four what I would say were pretty easy puzzles to boost your ego.
Then a nice piece of chess from an OTB game that was actually missed.

Onto 3 positions from the World Cup and their RHP counertparts.
The finish to the Axel Bachmann - Sarin Nihal game from the World
Cup is quite amazing and well worth the visit. I'll do it here as a quiz.

Axel Bachmann - Sarin Nihal FIDE World Cup 2023

What would you play as Black here?

Hi Geoff,
I was wondering whether the blog post's final paragraph has accurately positioned Elwin and Adams.

Hi David,

it was done intentionally as a not so bright punchline to the previous confusion.
I've had a PM about it as well. But I'll leave it as intended (most won't even notice)
it's harmless and should not cause any offence.
