Purplekangaroo89 beats pleslie999 by checkmate

Thought I was doing OK until didn't see the tactic to win my queen and it was all downhill from there. Not casting and continuing to try form some sort of attack was a silly idea. Well played.

N5 Spur defeats @ancientnoise by checkmate.

Even game until just past the 30th move, at which point my opponent had to surrender his Queen with King in check, From there on it was a case of chasing his King until checkmate, at the 42nd move.

Very enjoyable, close game, good luck for the rest of the season and to our return match, which will no doubt be a six-pointer.

Hands up, that was me........ very good game, enjoyed it as usual in spite of the outcome. When I read the analysis and suggested training, I was advised to try Fuzzy Felt instead. Still, forty-odd moves, I'll take that at the moment.

Wish my opponents would play like that. Iv 1 win so far and it came courtesy of a timeout.......

It’s legit like I’ve forgotten the absolute basics; got a lot going on in real life so might be affecting my play.

This was game 6 in Div B @Aim Here

Fair enough. If you're going to jump the gun like this, you're going to have to tell me which round you were playing. After all, there are two fixtures between any two given players. I won't know which is which.

I'm a newbie here @Aim Here

What would you prefer?

 

As I say, if you're going to record results for games I haven't listed yet, just include the round number (and the Chess.com usernames and result, obviously) so I'm not completely lost when updating the results sheet

If the game hasn't been listed yet how would an opponent know its a league tie?

By looking at the upcoming fixture list in the spreadsheet. I could be strict and say that the fixtures don't count if they start before I list them in this thread (or I could hide the upcoming fixtures), but until it starts causing problems, I'll be lenient.

If i received a challenge outwith the gameweek published on here I'd assume it was a friendly

Ah. My bad.

Apologies @Aim Here, but I just challenged the next available (and not too busy with other ongoing games) in the spreadsheet to a match, and assumed we both marked it as a league game.

That was one game with  @Ken Deans who is welcome to a re-match if he assumed it was a friendly.

 

I was puzzled wasn't on the fixture schedule but treated it as a full on league match. I happily accept the drubbing

Division B, Round 4. Ken Deans (white) draws with IncomingExile, stalemate.  

After capturing both my bishops by move 17, I made a daft move allowing Ken to capture both my rooks by move 28. It wasn't all that long before I was reduced to attempting to 'sh**house' another draw, as seems to be the new football buzzword. Ken only really made one mistake which was the last move (48), when his second queen didn't have me in check and I got away with a point. Hard luck on Ken because he deserved all three points, for me it's the equivalent of getting a man sent off in the first half and grinding out a goalless draw. 

We're now a win apiece and a draw from our three head-to-head games, look forward to the return leg.
