I also won my Rd15 & 16 games against  mackieboz & RBWatson.

Both games were quite tight but I was able to win a couple of pawns and grind out the wins.

Thanks for the games!

Div B results

Ziggy beats the kid by resignation. Well played.

A couple of bishops and a night on my queenside caused me all sorts of bother.

I kept on trying to create threats but the strategy of hoping for mistake seldom works.

Resigned after I threw Away my last rook.

Good luck with the rest of your games!

 

Thanks for the game. Interestingly, I think that after about 9 or 10 moves we may have reached an identical position (albeit with a slightly different move order) as a game I played against Trogdor.

Division B, Round 13

Straightforward win by checkmate for @Ziggy against N5 Spur.

Congratulations on the league win and good luck next season. 

Thanks for the game m8. I felt you just wasted too much time moving pawns which allowed me to trap your king in the centre.

Division A

A defeat for me against @invergowrie arab - I made it easy for my opponent by making an error within the first 10 moves - but credit to him for finishing the game off so quickly and efficiently after that clumsy mistake.

Thanks for the game and all the best for the season.

Div A - Game 15

ancientnoise (black) beats Albino Rov by checkmate.

A 66-move epic!

Thanks for the game  @Albino Rover

You make it sound like an Isner-Mahut type of match but I'm man enough to admit the contest was over long before the checkmate.

I hung on in vain longer than I probably should - by move 40 I was mostly crossing my fingers for a possible stalemate that was never going to happen.

960 Cup, First Round. 

Only my second 960 game and I still haven't figured out castling in this format. Do Like What The Curmudgeon Did would be a fair start. So excited to be playing an away match against one of the League's big hitters, I made what I considered to be a blundered knight in my third move - because I then immediately saw The Curmudgeon's own knight could fork my king and queen with his next move. I was then taken aback when he didn't, so blindly blundered on thinking I'd achieved the same fork at the other end. Technically, I had, but ignoring the bishop that The Curmudgeon had only just moved to prevent exactly that......... there's enough of a gulf in class without doing things like that.

After that it was mainly a case of bumbling around the board trying to put out fires, and I suppose it was a triumph of sorts to take it as far as my opponent's 31st move for the inevitable checkmate. 

The Curmudgeon advances to the quarter-finals while the Exiles hope to replace their worn out team coach (The Blunder Bus) with their share of the gate receipts. 
There's always next season. 

Thanks for the game.

Confirmation of Pleslie doing the double over me.

I got an absolute mauling that game.

 

Well played @pleslie99 and all the best for remaining fixtures 

Cheers, I think your doing yourself a disservice there, was pretty close and I thought my knight sacrifice to open your king was a nice move although the analysis didn’t like it much but that’s what started my attack which was pretty relentless. Thanks for the game, enjoyed it.
