The_kid1433 22 3 3 16 12

 

I did have to fish another result out of the chess.com gamelist, a draw between the_kid1433 and AH13STU, so if that wasn't a league match, please correct me

There are five matches still to complete, all in progress, as far as I can tell, with stuff to play for at both ends of the table (if AlbinoRov doesn't get a result against AH13STU, the head-to-head results suggest that beef2711 gets the playoff spot)

14 AlbinoRov vs AH13STU
21 DearyMe vs ancientnoise
21 KenDeans vs AH13STU
22 ancientnoise vs KenDeans
22 AH13STU vs stewartmathers

Results and calculations are on the spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YwODlp2A0TBMf2VuyjJox4ZaiyNKmLk37TH0_HrC-jk/

 

I am desperately attempting to bore @ancientnoise into submission. It is not going well...

I've been watching this game closely.

You've tried a few hanging pawn traps but he hasn't fallen for any of them.

It's a real tight game.

I'll keep trying - my internal monologue...

Result:

Div A Round 22

ancientnoise (white) beats KenDeans by resignation.

Another great game v an opponent who even when points/pieces down still puts you in trouble by asking all the right questions. 

 Thanks to @Ken Deans for the match. Haven' t looked at the review yet, but several times I thought you had me there.

Take care neebor and here's to our  next match.

Cup result

Curmudgeon beats markf268/ @true_rover by resignation

It looks like it might be a while before the semi final draw so I'll arrange a winter training camp in the Algarve for the squad.

Well played, felt totally outplayed in that.

I finish off my season with a win against AH13 STU. A rewarding one for me, it's always good when you have to get crafty to win - and I pulled off a creative wee move at the end to get the winning position and force the resignation from a superior player.

Thanks for the game, and thanks @Aim Here for organising the league.

Division A Table and Outstanding Results

Just two results left to come in:

21 DearyMe vs ancientnoise
22 AH13STU vs stewartmathers

The title is going right down to the wire this season, with the result of DearyMe vs ancientnoise deciding the winner. At the other end of the table, we now know the playoff contenders, @Albino Rover / @mathematics

The rules for the playoff are that the lower league contender plays white and must win to get promotion; a draw isn't enough, so the match is PnBmathematics vs AlbinoRov.

As well as the playoff, I'm taking signups for next season. Anyone wanting to play more league chess please indicate as much in the comments. @HulltoonDee already indicated an interest in joining so I'm penciling them in already, unless otherwise advised.
