My tie with @Albino Rover is going to the wire, theres a good chance it could be drawn again. Whats the outcome if its drawn for a 2nd time? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the absence of a 'go to penalties' mechanism, the obvious technique is to do the old school cup thing of yet another replay. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed that may be the case but wanted to check. It may well not go to another replay but its tightly poised just now. 1 mistake could end it for either of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Madwullie Cup Dearyme beats Invergowrie by resignation with Mate in 8 What a state to get myself in. Nearly resigned after move 11 only a pawn down as nowhere to go. Messed it up after move 1 when I realised where my castled king was going to end up As usual [mention=28013]Trogdor[/mention] punishes any mistake. Well played I hadn't realised he was still playing thus season, albeit in the Cup.Toughest player I've played - you really need to be at the top of your game or he'll jump on the slightest error. My ultra-defensive style did help in our matches.If he had entered the league again it would have been 3 in a row - and that would have been no mean achievement considering the quality of some of the players in the top division. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invergowrie arab Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Division B Results @mathematics beats Invergowrie by resignation - mate in 2 - dead pleased with myself going a queen up and knight sacrifice to take a rook. Then it all went downhill and my opponent was never in danger. Invergowrie beats @N5 Spur by checkmate. Managed to chase my opponents queen around the board hindering developments for him and eventually getting him into too tight a jam. Well played both 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well played both I feel like I should put out an assault charge - you gave my queen (and the rest) a runaround. Nicely played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 BasedGoDSa1NT beats RBWatson by resignation. A think I opened quite strongly and felt I was in control. A nice move to snag your queen. However when the resignation came I was scratching my head, I was not convinced you weren't going to get me in checkmate or take a few pieces as I had no clue what I was doing. Regardless though, thank you for the game and all the best for the remaining games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I think I've been a bit behind in reporting some results.I beat Mackieboz in the 960 Cup and beat Arabjoe in the league. I think all my other league defeats gave been recorded already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would involve telling people they have to be playing at one or other specific time. It would be a nighmare to set up the rules in a completley fair way to handle players in alternate timezones or on nightshifts or whatever. Even just tightening up the time controls is messy - anything faster than one move per day, and you're starting to interfere with people's real lives, potentially forcing them to interrupt their workday or get up in the middle of the night. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Lost to Spur in DIv B.I’m resigning from the rest of the season, so free points against whoever I’m matched against. My head isn’t in it at the moment. I’ll be back for Div C when the new season begins. Good games to all my opponents. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N5 Spur Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Division B N5 Spur defeats XCTR94 / @SweeperDee by checkmate. I was a piece up early and I felt comfortable but my opponent almost trapped me with a Queen and Castle counter in the end game. Luckily for me, I had enough to take his Queen and end the game. Apologies for not answering your in game messages - for some reason I wasn't receiving notifications - hope I didn't come across as an ignorant arse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbf, we are motoring through, plenty moves per day. Just very tight and advantage swinging both ways. I'm currently not in a great position but up a Knight for 2 pawns so it's all to play for. Considering we're deep into game number 2 and there are still some outstanding ties we're doing ok I think. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The answer is chessboxing. Three minutes of chess followed by a three minute bout of boxing. Continue alternating until with the first player to get a checkmate or a knockout is declared the winner. BBC Alba to broadcast it live. Alternatively a draw in the third match sees black progress. This also has the effect of partly reducing the advantage of being drawn as white. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
