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. Just passed 100 moves apiece (over 2 legs) and level pegging on material. Not quite this from the 1971 FA Cup but getting there... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 Division B N5 Spur defeats XCTR94 / [mention=53803]SweeperDee[/mention] 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.No problem bud; Chess app chat is dire. You played well and had me pinned from the start with that fucking bishop. Had to sack a rook to make space. All downhill from there. Well played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicesterlichtie Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Div A AH13STU beats Purplekangaroo89. A hard fought battle where I just scraped over the line in the end. Thanks for a tough game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Perhaps a bit premature, looking back at it now. I'm ridden with Covid atm so we'll blame that! Well played. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albino Rover Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Madwullie Cup defeat to pleslie999 - after a 50-moves-apiece draw in the 1st leg and an epic 79-move replay. Beaten by a better player - but now I know how Mahut must have felt at Wimbledon back in 2010... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early blunders in both matches had me on the back foot but clawed My way back. Really tight games and thoroughly enjoyable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Division A Board_stupid beats Arabjoe. A slightly unconventional and scrappy opening from both of us, but it led to me being up a piece. After that it was a matter of trying to make that extra piece count which is ultimately what happened. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 (edited) Ken Deans completes the double over BasedGoDSa1nt with his victory by resignation. You started out with quite an aggressive open that caught me off guard and I fell behind for most of the first half of the game. 2nd half, bounced back and thought it was quite even, maybe you were just slightly ahead and then I through a few pieces at the end which you countered on. Well play and all the best for remaining games. That's twice you've taught me a lesson and I'm already looking forward to our next game Edited October 19, 2022 by BaSeDG0DSA1NT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might still have a promotion play-off... depending on Dandies' final result. (I think you two are tied on head-to-heads. In that situation, what happens?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is some formula that ranks chess players in a league based on the calibre of opponents they won against. (i.e. beating the person who finished top scores you more than the person who finished last). That will come after head-to-heads. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Madwullie Cup Quarter Final Draw All the fixtures for Round 2 have been played, and so at short notice, we've got the duct tape and chloroform out and managed to bundle Elaine C Smith and the SFA's own Willie Collum into the back of an unmarked van and pressganged them into warm ball duty. The results of the draw are as follows: pleslie999 vs DearyMe Board_Stupid vs AimHere Purplekangaroo89 vs Ziggy_the_Spider PnBMathematics vs Dandies1983 I'm getting a very Scotland-Israel vibe about my continual matchups with Board_Stupid. Good luck, all! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SweeperDee Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Do I need to still need to play Mark? Actually looking at the table I don’t know if there’s a mathematical way for me to stay up, hence why I said I’d resign my last match…but I can’t work if out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
