Well played - I maybe should have seen that checkmate coming but was tying myself in knots trying to attack your well defended King and was completely oblivious! 7 hours ago, BaSeDG0DSA1NT said: apologies to my opponent for not making a game out of this one but will try harder next game. All the best Not at all mate - Queen blunder was always going to make it a really tricky game for you to get back into. I look forward to the rematch. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N5 Spur Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 20 hours ago, IncomingExile said: Division B Round 4 A win by checkmate for N5 Spur in the Not Really North London Derby. A fairly steady start, I thought, and then the defensive strategy went out of the window and I ended up regularly losing pieces throughout the game. Outcome was never in doubt but I decided to hold on while I still had a rook in play, so a resignation would have been on its way but not needed in the end. Look forward to the return match. I think the early taking of one of your knights changed much - the one piece of material difference opened up the game, and once my knight forked your castles, that was the start of the end. Always a good game, thanks, good luck with the rest of the league and likewise looking forward to the return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another tough season ahead Not if that game is anything to go by - you were up on points and had me on the ropes for 40 moves and I was literally in hail mary territory when I offered up the check/Queen swap in the slim hope that you'd miss that (which luckily for me, you did). If you'd swapped Queens then, I'd likely have resigned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Division B, Round 6. No surprise as Ziggy The Spider defeats Incoming Exile, who threw the towel in with Spider's rooks and queen closing in on an exposed king. Not for the first time, the comment was made that I was too defensive in setting up, so I'll try to work on that. Thanks for the game, are we going to see a second invincible Division B champion in a row? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 And another....... Division B Round 5. The kid defeats IncomingExile by resignation. A poor opening allowed the kid's queen to do a lot of early damage and it was fairly steady from there. With two bishops and a knight versus a dwindling number of pawns it was all over. Well played, see you in round 16. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckily for me I came out on top then just started simplifying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Division A Curmudgeon beats Dandies by resignation. The game took a bit of a wild turn early on when Dandies tried the fried liver attack. The result was both kings left unable to castle and me eventually a piece up. The contest was probably over later when the king and queen was conveniently lined up on the same file just asking for a rook to attack. GG, enjoyed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the tungston weasel Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Div B Round 6 Arabjoe vs The_kid1433 - the kid beats arabjoe by resignation Lots of early equal trades. absolutely nothing in this one, so much so that I offered an early draw when i felt that the position was fairly even but joe had prevented me from castleing leaving me with less king safety. but then when I got a rook on the 7th rank that kept your rook isolated I got a few forcing moves out and picked up some pawns. look forward to the return leg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted May 19, 2023 Share Posted May 19, 2023 Division A Round 4 PurpleKangaroo89 got the best of the opening and I was in trouble with an unsafe king with two rooks pointed at it, but managed to dig out of the hole and get him in a checkmate-as-soon-as-he-runs-out-of-checks attack.
