La version française suit.

In order to obtain the lowest room rates possible, the FQE made what we thought was an audacious but risky decision. We booked 1000 nights at the Fairmont Queen Elizabeth and guaranteed the revenues for the hotel. 

 

Black has just played 23...Qf4, attacking the h4-pawn and not fearing h4-h5.

Question 1: what happens after 24.h5 gxh5?
Question 2: does White have anything better?

As announced by Vladimir Drkulec in the Governors online meeting.

Daniel Kazmaier is one of the Canadian players who had a solid performance at the Reykjavik Open this year. He collected a cool 21 FIDE points helped by this 29-move last-round win against a Woman Grandmaster from Serbia. The game proceeds fairly slowly until Black's King gets stuck in the middle of the board.

The April meeting is public on the CFC discussion board (only governors can post).
