Uncle Psychosis Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 No problem. If your dad gets better and you have the inclination to play again just challenge me. All the best with him, though. Much more important than chess! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Says he's going to stop smoking I knew from the moment when we exchanged queens that it was going to be a long game. You saw the game out better than I did. For all the king chasing that I did, it was a big ask to deliver a checkmate with the pieces that I had. I made a few poor decisions that cost me pieces that would have come in useful at that point. A deserved win. Good luck in your other games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My game against eindhovendee was the first time I actually used en passant. I had no idea it existed until I started playing in the chess league. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably shouldn't have pitched in to the cup as something like this was pretty likely to happen, but I was missing the smell of the board. I'm not going to be able to play my match properly so I'll have to resign. Sorry for fucking things up a bit Hopefully you’re both okay soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 (edited) Division C, Round 13 AimHere beats invergowrie with a king-hunt checkmate, somewhat spoiled by the coup de grâce being delivered by the queen, instead of a pawn, as the engine analysis rightly suggests.

Good game mate. No let up. I only made one mistake the whole game (and one blunder but you were already mate in 2 by then) but it was foot on the throat stuff from the off. Moving knight off to A rank is just shit chess and i missed that we could have just exchanged quite happily. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck in the next round, Gordon! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Psychosis Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Div A ChessBassGuitar and GordonEF draw by repetition. Frustrating endgame, had a monster passed pawn but my king wasn't safe enough to make it count so had to settle for a draw. Good game though, enjoyed it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Div A - no idea what round it was but Ziggy beats gkneil. I’ve been getting a bit bored playing d5 in response to d4 so decided to play the Benko Gambit. Fairly typical Benko, white ‘wins’ a pawn but has to be careful as black gets quick development, clear lines and can trap whites king in the centre. gkneil wasn’t careful enough. Thanks for the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel pretty happy with the the draw as I thought I'd struggle to stop you promoting near the end. Like you say though, your King vulnerability gave me that wee chance and once I finally figured out how to get my bishop onto a diagonal that threatened your king and your passed pawn it got me back in it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleslie99 Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Scottish Cup result. @gkneil beats pleslie999 by checkmate. A wild game, I had no idea what I was doing in the opening but thought I came out of it ok and was doing pretty well until a few blunders. Looking at the analysis I had the chance to win it somewhere in the middle. Anyone looking at that game it was blunder central by both of us for a bit, mine just ended up a bit more costly Good game, beaten by the better player in the end. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee-Bey Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Beef 2711 beats PnB Mathematics by checkmate. Good game, early f pawn push left his king exposed and I landed a full rook up, before going even further ahead. He battled on gamely, but eventually succumbed. Good game m8. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
