N5 Spur

Invite sent. I think @weeyin13 had a case of game overload syndrome at the time, although looking at his remaining fixtures, the syndrome is still in place. Good luck, Sir.

Division B, Round 15 N5 Spur defeats @weeyin13 by checkmate. Enjoyable game, thanks, good luck with the remainder of the tournament.

Division B, Round 17 @mathematics defeats N5 Spur via checkmate. Well played, good luck with your final placing.

If I die soon, I die with a semi-decent conscience. Not often I can say that. Invite sent, for as and when.

Division B, Round 18 N5 Spur defeats markf268 / @true_rover on time. More than happy to replay if @true_rover is in a position to do so, and admin is happy with that. Selfless, I know.

Division B, Round 16 N5 Spur defeats @EvilScotsman / RBWatson by resignation. An even relegation-6-pointer until a decoy (I think) plan/trap actually worked on my part, with an advancing pawn and well-placed queen of mine enabling said pawn to take my opponent's queen. Good luck for the rest of the tournament.

Division B, Round 14 mackieboz / @Stellaboz defeats N5 Spur by checkmate. Nice move at the end to win the game - I should have surrendered my Queen but not sure how much longer that would have delayed things. Well played, gg.

Division B, Round 13. @Davi3j defeats N5 Spur by checkmate. Well played, good luck for your remaining matches.

Division B, Round 12 @D Angelo Barksdale / beefy2711 defeats N5 Spur by checkmate. I was smothered, and not in a good way. Well played, gl for the rest of the tournament, which is turning out to be my worst yet, and that's saying something. Onwards and upwards.

It was an enjoyable game (in the main), well played and good luck for the rest of the tournament.

Division B, Round 9 markf268 / @true_rover defeats N5 Spur by checkmate. All fairly close until the late 30s when a nice fork by my opponents bishop, with pawn strategically placed, meant he went a piece up (my knight) and kept it going from there on. Nicely played, gg, ttfn, etc.

Division B, Round 10 Basedgodsaint / @BaSeDG0DSA1NT defeats N5 Spur by check mate. No idea why I gave you my queen earlier on but I don't think it would have changed things even if I kept it. Nicely played, see you for the return.

Division B, Round 8 @mathematics / PnBMathematics defeats N5 Spur by checkmate. Nicely played, see you for the return, gl with the rest of the tournament.

Division B, Round 7 N5 Spur defeats RBWatson / @EvilScotsman by resignation. Thanks for the game, see you for the return, good luck for the rest of the tournament.

28th birthday party? No, Chance.

Division B, Round 5 N5 Spur defeats @Stellaboz /mackieboz via checkmate. Close game, could have gone either way, and some decent conversation about Cologne, gym avoidance and Hearts away shirts. What's not to like? See you for the return, and best of luck for the tournament, etc.

Will be needing some big pall bearers to carry Lloyd.

Division B, Round 3 @D Angelo Barksdale / beef2711 defeats N5 Spur by checkmate. A pawn fork on my knight and bishop early on set the tone, and I was playing catch-up, unsuccessfully, from then. Nicely played. This is already turning into a long season (for me).

Division B, Round 4 @Davi3j defeats N5 Spur by checkmate. Some sharp play in the mid-game forced me to give up my queen, and from there on in it was a matter of time. Well played, see you for the rematch.

Division B, Round 2 @The Other Foot / Dustysghost defeats N5 Spur via checkmate. Nice comeback from my opponent - I felt I had enough chances to win but didn't make the most of them and was punished accordingly but a smart queen/bishop trap. 6 misses wasn't particularly clever of me. Have a good tournament and see you for the return.

Got it and accepted, thanks, and now awaiting your first move.

Well played. It was, for me, an aggressive start but not really in doubt once you trapped my queen. See you for the return as and when.
