More than happy to replay if @true_rover is in a position to do so, and admin is happy with that. Selfless, I know. Sorry was travelling, and thought I'd played a move but obviously wasn't connected to the internet at the time! Don't mind which option we go with - it was my fault! Potentially a couple of games behind at the moment (either taken place or reported!) - I'll check the fixtures and get caught up! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 @Davi3j defeats Saint by checkmate. Both of us tried to throw the game at various parts but overall the better player won. Well played and all the best for remaining fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davi3j Posted May 9 Share Posted May 9 @The Other Foot dustyghost resigns against davi3j. Good game, was quite tight until you got trapped at the back 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Foot Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 (edited) Guys can anyone recommend a good book on chess theory? One that’s been updated relatively recently, but still contains a bit of historical info. I came into this league from a background of playing 3 min blitz, which doesn’t translate well into… let’s call it, ‘thinking chess’. I’ve recently been reading a bit about theory online (and my results have marginally improved since last season) but can’t stand reading things on phone/laptop. Any assistance appreciated Edited May 10 by The Other Foot 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think @weeyin13 had a case of game overload syndrome at the time, although looking at his remaining fixtures, the syndrome is still in place. Good luck, Sir. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
