pleslie99 Posted May 15, 2021 Share Posted May 15, 2021 Pleslie999 beats Dandies1983 by resignation Was a really good game, I lost an early rook, then traded Queens and was pretty close, I felt I was always behind until a couple mistakes allowed me back in. My opponent admitted being a few cans in near the end of the game so I reckon that maybe played a part lol! I'll take another win though! Cheers for the game, enjoyed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GordonS Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Division C Round 10, GordonS496 kicks mackieboz's khunt in. That engine knows a lot about chess but not much about people. It says that the move that opened the game up and gave me a big advantage was an inaccuracy. There was a way out of it if he'd spotted it early enough, but even then I'd have lost nothing and probably gained a little bit of position. Mate the first time I played you you were, to be fair, sh*te. But all the games since then have been difficult and enjoyable. Today was probably the best I've ever played (not saying much obv) and I'm sure the rematch will be tighter. Thankful only to have one game this weekend, I've had an ear infection that's had me wishing for the sweet relief of death. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true_rover Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 A double win to report!markf268 wins over DieHardDoonhamer by resignation - took the advantage with a knight fork of his queen and king but far too slow in actually closing it out, including a missed win. Was a bit cautious with it and ended up swapping my queen for a rook and bishop (not entirely deliberately!)markf268 beats mackieboz by checkmate - blunders everywhere, not read the full analysis yet but I apparently had 5. A lot of the game was probably spent one move away from disaster for both of us, but with a small piece advantage I was able to get over the line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 League A GordonEF beats PurpleKangaroo89 by resignation A tight game most of the way through. We got down to one rook and six pawns each and even though I had the slight advantage in pawn structure, I though we were probably heading to a stalemate but a mistake let me force a rook exchange and come out with a bigger pawn advantage. Still wasn't totally sure I could force a promotion at that point but by sending my h pawn on a suicide mission it would have forced his king away from the centre enough to give me the space to clear up the middle. Good game @craigkillie 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
