ChessBase must be reading Chess Variant Page because instead of a "swink" it's a "swindle." April_1. After 12 or 15 years this is their first departure from fake news on Fools Day. (Actually, not having looked in detail yet, expect one of the puzzles to be rogue or insoluble.) Swink means to swindle in the midwest but it's not here: Swindle? Also appropriate is Liars_Chess.

Wait a minute, isn't this one fishy? F.I.D.E. Arguably also the three top world holidays recognized in the most countries are April 1, May 1, and January 1(near the solstice), since other religious holidays are regional.
