The Goldilox of Sunday crosswords -- not too hard, not too easy, just right -- with an entertaining chess theme and a reference to what we presume is Will Shortz's favorite pointy object, 88D, Tool for a duel, EPEE. There were a few standout clues -- 64A, Pickup line?, RAM, and the tremendous 55D, Cub's place to play home games, DEN (very nice!). As all good crosswords do, it did raise a few questions, such as  25A, Where snow leopards and blue sheep roam, HIMALAYAS -- blue sheep? are they just cold or is something else going on? And is 126, Opposite of wind up, UNREEL, a real word, or is it ... UNREAL?Regardless, this was a nice way to spend part of a Memorial Day weekend, we give it a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.

EGAD there's a lot of firing going on in today's crossword -- the theme was YOUREFIRED, and 4 answers were two word phrases with the last word being a synonym for being fired -- CAN, AXE, SACK and BOOT.

In lieu of UGG, we had a much rarer if not debut clue, 53A, Bit of fashionable footwear, ANKLEBOOT. Jean was temporarily misled at 52A, English Channel, informally, with "the", BEEB, while Mike saw right through 38D, Hole-some breakfast food?, BAGEL.

What a day in Barcelona – and sets the season up nicely now that we’ve finished 4 out of the 5 world cups.Let’s start with the easy stuff. Korea won and are qualified – they cannot be caught by Hong Kong. China are qualified and confirmed in the top 4 – alongside Russia and Poland. Italy and USA are also qualified – they can’t be caught. Congratulations to all 6 teams that we know are qualified.That leaves 2 spaces. USA had a good day – winning bronze, bringing Canada back into the qualification places. Canada did enough, making the top 16. That final top 4 space is available for two teams: Korea and Italy.Korea need to finish 1 or 2 to take the place, USA could maintain it by finishing 2 or 4 respectively. Another Asian team in the top 4 would open up the door for Hong Kong.Italy can overtake the USA by winning in Tashkent. If Italy finish 4/3/2, USA need to finish 6/4/1 to maintain their place. If Italy make the top 4, then Estonia are first in line to take the zonal place, leaving an extra (European) place for the taking.The Extra Place is now very interesting. Egypt did very well – beating Japan in the 32 and are now only one point away. If they win their first match in Tashkent I think they are qualified. But let’s talk about the scenario if it doesn’t happen and if it goes to a European team.Even though Ukraine are lower than France, they are better positioned because of their worst place (which was today vs Sweden!). If Ukraine finish first they will overtake Estonia, otherwise if they finish 2/3/4, Estonia need to finish 1/7/9. France need a gold or silver medal to catch Estonia, Estonia can maintain their place with 2nd or 4th respectively.After a couple of tough competitions, a good result by Vivian Kong 江旻憓 (HKG) showed why she’s the best Asian fencer outside of China. Nathalie Moellhausen (BRA) returned from a hand injury to finish inside the top 16.Ukraine dropping out of the team place means there is no room for Olena Kryvytska (UKR). She’s 5 points behind Coraline Vitalis (FRA) – plus the 4 points needed to improve her 5th best result.The biggest move was for the second Asian place. Sato Nozomi (JPN) moved further ahead of Yoshimura Miho (JPN), although the gap is only 4.25 points.A GP and a World Cup to go. Next stop Budapest!Support the show (http://patreon.com/FencingTokyo)

What a weekend of epee. Lets get the easy ones out of the way. France are qualified in pole position. Italy are qualified – they can’t be caught by the multiple European teams needed to beat them. Likewise USA are qualified as the best PanAm team. Interestingly Switzerland are not yet qualified – there are scenarios for the last World Cup in Buenos Aires which could knock them out if they do badly (e.g. 1. HUN, 2. KOR, 3. UKR).Korea winning in Vancouver has really shaken this table up. Please remember that the “4th” column (the worst world cup result) is the most important number here. Because we only count 4/5 results, teams need to improve on their worst result to change their score. Korea’s worst result was only a last 32 in Heidenheim, so they have the opportunity to score a huge amount of points compared with the teams around them.For example, Korea could move into the top 4 (replacing Ukraine) by finishing 16th! If Korea finish 8th, Ukraine would have to finish 4th to maintain their top 4 place. This has huge implications for both Hungary and Russia – and throws a lifeline to China, who had a tough day after losing to Korea by one hit in the last 16. Small margins…Speaking of Russia and Hungary, Hungary have a 3 point lead but also 3 points extra in their 4th result, so it’s very even. Remember that Hungary would win any tiebreak due to their gold medal in Heidenheim. If Korea make the top 4 then I don’t think either will qualify without a big result.Similarly, Japan is close to China, but China has a material advantage with their 4th result being a last 32 finish in Paris.And then we need to talk about Egypt. They’re doing everything they need to do – making last 16’s and sometimes winning more matches. But they’re not safe. They can be overtaken by Spain/Estonia/Germany (and maybe Poland) – realistically all 3 of those teams need good results in Buenos Aires to knock Egypt out of the top 16 and open up an Extra Place.In the individuals, a win by Bas Verwijlen (NED) moves him comfortably into the second European place. The possibility that neither Russia or Hungary (or Ukraine!) qualify in the teams is still a concern though.Ruslan Kurbanov (KAZ) benefits from Korea moving into the qualification places – Park Sangyoung (KOR) doesn’t need an individual place.Better days in Vancouver for the Japanese team, but Yamada Masaru (JPN) is a long way ahead.Next is Budapest, then it’s all finished in Buenos Aires.Support the show (http://patreon.com/FencingTokyo)

Another medal for Sergey Bida (RUS), this time gold, moves him to the top of the rankings. Not yet mathematically qualified - but very close.The most important result for the rankings was a superb 5th place result from Bas Verwijlen (NED). Bas moves ahead of Radoslaw Zawrotniak (POL) for the second European place.A bronze medal to Yamada Masuru (JPN) confirms he is the best of the Japanese fencers - I suspect they'll use host nation places though.The Doha winner in the Women's event, Ana Maria Popescu (ROU), is world number 1 and top of the rankings. She’s not mathematically qualified yet – but that’s not far away.A tough match for Vivian Kong (HKG) in the 64, losing to 2013 world champion and 2017 team world champion Julia Beljajeva (EST).Marie-Florence Candassamy (FRA) closed the gap slightly with Coraline Vitalis (FRA) – but still has a long way to go.The two Japanese frontrunners matched results with a last-64 finish. No change there with three competitions to go.Support the show (http://patreon.com/FencingTokyo)
