Is @weeyin13 still participating in the league ?

I did query that, and they replied in the affirmative, followed by a couple of results posted this week.

Is there anywhere that explains how this league works?

I think this is the latest post where the rules were explained, but I could be wrong. Not sure if it's fully up to date, but the basic gist is that every few months, people sign up to play two (or occasionally just one) 'daily games' on chess.com per week in a double round robin league with two divisions (using the football scoring systems of 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw and promotion/relegation, and people play each other once as white, once as black). Daily games are where you play a minimum of one move per day. All PnBers are welcome. @ancientnoise deals with the cup these days, which is a parallel FA-Cup style knockout tournament.

We're about halfway through the season right now, but if this is the sort of thing you're interested in, I can pencil you in for next season right now. At the end of this season, I'll do a callup for next season, and again, you'd be more than welcome to join in.

I also think this is the first year since I started running this that nobody picked Akebono Taro or Peter Higgs. You know the longer somebody's alive the more likely they are to die, right?

I picked Higgs on my first go here, before I realised that ill people die faster than old people. And nobody told me Peter Higgs was ill.

St Mirren concussion, so both teams get another sub.

This sounds like an exploitable loophole. When you need to hook another one of your own players, send your assistant manager out with a lead piping to cosh a member of the opposition. Costs your non-playing staff a red card for violent conduct, but you gain an extra sub, and take out their best player.

Only ever done that once, at kicking out time in the pub where we'd watched England v. Scotland at Euro 2020. I was smashed and then some. Threw up all over a Premier Inn that night and somehow got off scot free. I am eternally grateful for their purple carpets being the perfect colour to hide vomit stains in.

Unless there was an ungodly quantity of beetroot in your kebab that night, or there was a lot of snakebite and blackcurrant drinkers in that Premier Inn, I'd get that checked out.

Who beat redvtop, @Caro-Kann ?

That would be me. He accidentally opened himself up to a mate-bishop fork so I got a bishop, gave the piece back shortly afterwards (the alternative was retreating my queen and losing the initiative) and then just kept up the pressure to the end. redvtop's first league defeat is now on my CV.

Isn't that like picking someone because they're famous for being ill?

Being old isn't the same as being ill. Also, of course, the scoring system takes age into account. If this guy pops his clogs, you get only 13 or 14 points, not counting bonuses.

Quote

I am a Loyal Ulster man
They say this day that I must hang
Cause I fought the IRA
They say that I must pay
Well they say this day that I must hang.

So build my gallows build them high
That I might see before I die
The Antrim glen and the hills of County Down
And I'll see again the lights of home

I do enjoy going to watch my football team and singing... er, whatever this is.

Regardless of the sectarianness or otherwise of the song, you do have to boggle at the self-victimization on display. Is there even *one* instance of anyone from Northern Ireland being subjected to capital punishment for 'fighting the IRA' since the IRA was founded? Surely, given the history of Ireland, they're not at a loss for instances of very real crimes committed against Northern Irish protestants or loyalists, rather than concocting entirely fictional grievances against a country they claim to be loyal to.
