A really good game from Round 10, Division B, thought early on that I might get punished for not advancing my pawns early enough and so it proved. Look forward to the reverse fixture. Pleslie999 wins after IncomingExile's 61st move resignation, the promoted queen was the difference/final straw after my blundered rook. Still, happy with my progress this season, I've smashed my previous points haul. Edited June 7, 2023 by IncomingExile 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well played, had to work hard for the win 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilScotsman Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 I don't think he's claimed it anywhere, but @arab_joe beat me pretty handily by checkmate in Round 8 (Division B). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pleslie99 Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Pleslie999 beats mackieboz by resignation. a Queen blunder was the end, was tight up until that point, realised after I took the free rook after the Queen that I had mate in 2 had I ignored the rook. Good game thanks 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free beer Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Round 12 stewartmathers beats PnbMathematics by resignation Had a piece advantage going into the end game phase, when my opponent blundered his rook to me. Thanks for the match. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 @EvilScotsman RBwatson defeats Saint by checkmate Another defeat, another queen hung. Move 20ish onwards I felt up against it, you pressured my queen really well, I thought I'd sneaked away move 25 when you captured my night and then went and hung the queen. Overall really strong opening, pressure applied midgame and the checkmate I didn't see coming until too late. Well played, GG 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Update on some results. Curmudgeon beats Invergowrie by resignation. A couple of early mistakes caused an insurmountable loss of material for Invergowrie. Curmudgeon beats PurpleKangaroo89 by resignation. The usual tough game against Craig, although he gave away a pawn early which helped give me an edge. Ancientnoise beats Curmudgeon by resignation. I tried to line up almost all my pieces in a coordinated attack, while leaving my own king feebly defended, which against a strong player in asking for trouble. Would not recommend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you had skilfully extricated your Queen before inexplicably leaving it for my bishop, and after that, well, the game was mine... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
true_rover Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 8 hours ago, EvilScotsman said: RBWatson wins by checkmate. @true_rover must be kicking himself, after skilfully parlaying a couple of errors on my part into mate in 9 before blundering mate in 1. Absolute robbery for the second match in a row. A couple of games in quick succession where I've thrown it away - not going well at present! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancientnoise Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) 7 hours ago, Curmudgeon said: Ancientnoise beats Curmudgeon by resignation. Div A - Round 10 ancientoise beats @Curmudgeonby resignation. Flung the ktichen sink up that flank, but never got the chance to deliver a cross or take a shot at the King Somehow ended up +5 but with more scope to move (b+b+N v R) Thanks for the game @Curmudgeon Edited June 8, 2023 by ancientnoise 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free beer Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Division A - Round 7 AlbinoRov vs stewartmathers - draw Much piece exchanging at Cliftonhiil, left an end game where we had a non-matching bishop each, and a pawn advantage for myself which I was unable to convert. Look forward to the rematch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Div A Draw with stewartmathers Definitely one that I class as having "managed a draw" - having been behind on material from early on, against a superior player. Thanks for the game @free beer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Div A Defeat against DearyMe Gifted an early advantage to one of the top players in the League and should have admitted defeat much earlier than I did. My decision to play on for so long hoping for a stalemate/repetition was very much in vain. Thanks for the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 And a defeat to @Curmudgeon- who kindly said I made it tough for him but it was really no contest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim Here Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Division A, Round 12 Don't get greedy. Scarfing a pawn to maintain a +1 material advantage instead of running my King to safety by castling cost me a slow, painful death. AimHere loses to DearyMe through materialistic excess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N5 Spur Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Division B, Round 12 N5 Spur defeats @the tungston weasel / The_kid1433 by checkmate. Going one piece up early in mid-game kept me one step ahead, and some attacking play from Queen and Castles forced mate. Good game, thanks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well played, after I threw away that knight i couldn't find away past your pawn structure and I was well bullied. Good luck with the rest of your games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
