Curmudgeon Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 In the Scottish Cup quarter final (or maybe it's a one-third final?) Board_stupid defeats paakman01 by checkmate on black's 33rd move. It was an entertaining all-out attacking cup tie where paakman01 effectively sacrificed a piece to set up a dangerous attack. Managed to repel that, and with the extra piece turned defence into attack. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Division A Result Dearyme defeats Ziggy The Spider by resignation. Resignation from Ziggy was maybe a little premature, I was about to win a pawn in an ending. In all likelihood it would have been decisive. In terms of the game, there wasnt much in it. My pawn structure was a little stronger but I think the error was in maybe being a smidge too passive before the end position. Leaving the Rook on the a file is probably better. The pawn on e4 is a little loose so is an easy target. Good game mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Division A result Dearyme defeats Beef2711 by resignation. This was shaping up to be a real ding dong encounter. I castled kingside and Beefy castled queenside. I nabbed a pawn and Beefy got the drop on me with his Queen and 2 Rooks bearing down on h7. I was definitely on the backfoot and got lucky when Beef dropping a piece and resigning. Good game mate. Sorry it ended that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much in the game at all, until I managed to swap a Knight for a Rook and took the upper hand. Thanks for the game. After 7 losses from past 9, great to get back to winning ways! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleslie99 Posted March 19, 2022 Share Posted March 19, 2022 Arabjoe beats pleslie999 by checkmate A bishop blunder In the end game was the difference. I was probably ahead and up a couple pawns then just threw my Bishop away. @arab_joe took his opportunity and cleaned up nicely. I hung around hoping to force a stalemate but alas not to be! Well played mate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Division A, Round 15 I was three pawns ahead, though there was still a bit of chess to be played, but @Leicesterlichtie fails to make a move on time.

Aim Here Posted March 20, 2022 Share Posted March 20, 2022 (edited) Division A, Round 17 Beef2711 is playing that safe, dependable London game, when suddenly, out of the blue, a tricksy knight maneouvre dooms his queen by move 20. AimHere beats beef2711 by resignation. Edit: Looking at the last league table, I should have played 13 and lost 7, rather than 14 and 8. Currently, I'm on 15 played with 7 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses, and one outstanding game, against Ziggy.

Trogdor Posted March 21, 2022 Share Posted March 21, 2022 Division A Result Dearyme defeats gkneil by resignation. This was probably the closest game myself and gkneil have played. I was a little bit better positionally, with pressure on the kingside. I managed to nab a pawn, then gkneil missed a mating attack and that was that. Thanks for the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
