  • Want some endorsements? Run the Revolutionary Endorsement Program! It's simple, and doesn't take very much time. Endorse comrades, get endorsed back.

  • Our forums are online, but unfortunately, we have lost a whole year of data. If you applied for citizenship after January of 2020 (Feb-Dec of 2020), make sure to reapply!. You may also have to recreate your account. Apologies for this inconvenience. The government will be working as quickly as possible to re-accept citizenship applications. In order to prevent this from happening again in the future, we will be discussing our options and holding a vote on a potential forum transfer in the near future. Stay tuned! (Disclaimer : this only applies if you were registered as a citizen in between February 2020 and December 2020. If you have joined TCB after this time period you do not need to re-apply for citizenship)

Hey folks. It's that time of week again. It's been a very busy week for me personally. I've had a lot of real life responsibilities to attend to, and I've been preparing my garden for the spring. Do any of you like to garden? Send me some pictures of your plants on discord, I'd love to see them. If enough people send me pictures I may post them here; "The Plants of the Bloc", haha. It has been a rough winter, and my heart goes out to everyone impacted by the harsh winter storms and power outages recently. Spring can't come soon enough.

This week, our winners are Quartia and Karafuto and The union of malaysian socialists. Congratulations! I have multiple puzzles for you again. Except this week, in preparation for a potential region wide Chess tournament, we will have some chess puzzles. For the sake of simplicity, these will all be checkmate in 2 puzzles and are not very difficult. It is preferred that you submit your answers in proper chess notation, however I will accept answers in whatever way you can communicate them to me, even if you have to draw your moves out on the board in Microsoft paint

Here are the puzzles, all of them are white to move:

And for those who don't care for chess, here is a sudoku puzzle:

As always, submissions are accepted via Discord and telegram, and everyone that completes a puzzle will be featured in the news. Thanks for reading :)
