"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne

The Wall Street Journal deleted a comment I made a few weeks ago because I was advertising Lichess.org so I tried again today. I provided an on-topic chess puzzle. I will see if the WSJ censors vaporize it. We are suppose to have freedom of speech in this country but the WSJ wants to be like North Korea.
Carlsen won the World Chess Championship with one of the most beautiful queen sacrifices I have ever seen. It has already become a chess puzzle. Carlsen's opponent threatened checkmate but Carlsen got the job done first. For fun I suggest see if you can find his brilliant sacrifice at https://en.lichess.org/training/102787
