Caro-Kann Posted May 24 Share Posted May 24 (edited) redVtop checkmates Kendeans. Ken went for a very defensive setup that left his pieces quite blocked in so I ended up playing aggressively to attempt to smash through his King side which thankfully for me worked out.

Albino Rover Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 Div A I've just won a game against @pleslie99 on time. 5 moves in and level on material, but having made a good positional start. Can someone please advise on the proper etiquette? Take the win or replay? (Possibly matching move-for-move to get the same position so no advantage is gained?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted May 25 Share Posted May 25 @Trogdor you are about to time out against me too (our game which began on 21st April has been "paused" for an awful long time now) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pleslie99 Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Pleslie999 beats invergowrie by checkmate thanks for the game, managed to force the king out into the open and from there it was always going to be tough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curmudgeon Posted May 26 Share Posted May 26 Curmudgeon beats redVtop by resignation A thoroughly entertaining game with a knife-edge ending. I put a lot of pressure on, but couldn't find a decisive move for a material advantage. Instead it turned into a race for promotion which ended with the slightly unusual position of a resignation despite having two queens on the board. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're well within your rights to claim the win (and I'll mark it as a win in the scoresheet for now). It's the other player's responsibility to get their moves in on time. If both parties agree, then you could finish the game off properly and report it, but it's not mandatory. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We each had two queens at one point but my king in the middle of the board was my achilleas heel meaning I was about to drop a queen at which point I couldn't really see even a way to salvage a draw so why prolong the agony. It was though as you say an entertaining game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
free beer Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Round 10 arabjoe beats stewartmathers by resignation Round 21 stewartmathers beats arabjoe by resignation Blundered my queen in the return match, whilst my opponent @arab_joe blundered in giving up a rook for it. Rather than resign, I played on and managed to secure an unexpected victory. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invergowrie arab Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Invergowrie beats @arab_joe by checkmate only stumbling across the winning move because it was a desperation move not to lose my queen or lose the game. Thanks for the games mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancientnoise Posted May 28 Share Posted May 28 Result: Div A - Round 16 ancientnoise (black) beats ArabJoe by resignation. An enjoyable tie that was ticking along evenly until my opponent did a thing with one of his rooks and gave me the chance to take the queen or the match. Thank @arab_joefor the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a similar note, this is the situation in my game against @Trogdor - no one has made a move since April. Do I win? I definitely do not want to accumulate a whole load of points from games I haven't actually won, but thought I was doing quite well against a player who usually hammers me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately it's up to @Aim Here playing the role of Neil Doncaster (but without the salary) as to when they want to call a halt to the league, but even if they do I'd imagine @Trogdor would want to continue with the game when they return unless they want to take about 8 losses against mostly lower rated players and the associated grade drop. You are playing well my ML5 friend to have reached this position btw! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently, DearyMe/Trogdor is on track to having his season voided, in which case, this game would be null and void. He's only finished two games the whole season; if he manages to return before the season ends, any games he times out will generally be a win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iv timed out twice this season I think and happily took the defeats as it’s my fault. I don’t think folk should just be allowed to go awol. It’s 1 move per day, it’s not that tough to keep up with. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
