  1. The SFA should call Buckie's bluff, interpret that Meh statement as a form of "appeal" and allow the play-off to happen. Buckie are forced to play a game they have no intention of winning, Mick Kennedy's celebrations tonight are stymied, and both sets of fans get their well-deserved days out. Everyone wins.
  2. The top players in this league might be in with a shout of appearing in this: https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/2024/bbc-makes-moves-with-new-factual-commission-chess-masters The programme is looking for chess players of all ages and backgrounds to take part - anyone with a passion for chess can apply.

  3. Div A defeat for me against @pleslie99 This one started off a bit end-to-end and went the distance - 75 moves each - although my opponent was in control for the last 15-20 of those after passing a pawn. Thanks PL for an enjoyable game.
  4. Division A win for me against Ken Deans A trademark close-fought contest between me and KD, which after nearly 50 moves each still could have gone either way before I pulled off a sneaky checkmate. Thanks for the game @Ken Deans
  5. Division A win for @Curmudgeon against me. My games against the top players in the division are usually a lot more comfortable for my opponent so I'll take a degree of pride in making him work for it this time. But it was never really in doubt. Thanks for the game!
  6. On a similar vein, what's the longest losing streak by a title-winning side? Albion Rovers lost 4 in a row at a crucial point in the title-winning 2014-15 season - I am sure that must have happened before (or since), but it can't be very common.
  7. Congratulations Stenny on a well-deserved first-ever title. Crawled over the line - but the hard work was done in the first half of the season. Here's hoping for a nice long spell in League One for one of the best-run clubs in Scottish football.
  8. Div A Win for me against stewartmathers Quite an evenly-matched game, if anything my opponent had the upper hand after trapping my rook, but I kept more pawns on the board and, after material was traded, that was the difference. Thanks @free beer for the game
  9. Div A A win for me vs @arab_joe Another hard-fought contest against a tough opponent, which was still neck and neck when I managed to get into the all-important advantageous position. Could easily have gone the other way. Thanks for the game Joe.
  10. Div A Win for me vs @invergowrie arab A relief to come out of this one with 3 points. I started the game very aggressively but wound up losing big on material, and was behind by a rook and a bishop when finally I found a deadly attack and forced the resignation. Really enjoyed this rather unorthodox game. Thanks IA.
  11. Div A A defeat for me against DearyMe - foolishly after trapping a rook I started thinking "I might be able to get something out of this" but within the next 8 moves my opponent quickly passed a couple of pawns and mated me. Thanks @Trogdor for the game.
  12. Second name on the teamsheet for me, after McGinn.
  13. Thanks to you too AN. Fully expected to lose against a superior player but I'll try not to make it so easy in the reverse fixture.
  14. Div A A derby defeat for me against redVtop - blundered early in the game after which my Diamond opponent didn't make a false move. Well played. Looking forward to the reverse fixture later in the season.
  15. Division A A win for me against @Ken Deans - in a typical close-fought match, which started very attacking, Ken taking the upper hand before I pulled level on material and got the better of my opponent in the endgame. Neither of us is very likely to be a title contender but our meetings are always great value for the neutral! Thanks for the game.
