I assume it’s a perk if you’re a paid member. I dont think folk should be allowed to 'go on vacation' it's 1 move in a 24hr period. Not exactly a burden. Im busy with work, family etc but I still manage it. If I didn't play a move I'd expect to be timed out and lose. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not a fan of 1-day chess but it’s “1-day” for a reason. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 (edited) In Eindhoven’s defence he makes a lot of moves per day when he is on. We are currently on our 31st moves this week. We have two weeks to complete games so I’d rather people pause over a weekend and get games finished by playing within 14 days. I get more frustrated with people who only move one a day every day. I am just not sure why other players time out and others don’t. I don’t have a subscription so I assume I’ll be allowed to time out.

Curmudgeon Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Division A Board_stupid defeats beef2711 by resignation. Beef was a bit hampered in development which left him unable to castle. This resulted in his king being exposed when the central pawns were traded off. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DearyMe beats AimHere by checkmate Good game mate. It was round about here where the tactics started to favour me. It took a decent amount of calculation on my part to work out I was going to be in the ascendancy. When I had the connected passers it's very difficult to hold. I think you're best try is to nab the a pawn and try to push yours. In the hope it distracts me from pushing my passers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Felt I played pretty well, my opponent played an opening I didn't know but i managed to get the upper hand. Having both my bishops lined up on his castled King side was pretty strong and eventually managed to get the win! Cheers for the game I never noticed the second bishop until it was too late and was left in a tight spot I couldn't get out of. Good game.

the tungston weasel Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Kid beats mackieboz by carpet bombing from the first bell.Well played, I absolutely loathe playing you as I always feel totally out my depth. Thanks for the game.I know the feeling. I was just lucky that after you blundered your Bishop you couldn't releave the pressure. Up untill then it was quote tight. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the tungston weasel Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 Division CXCTR94 beats the_kid1433 by resignation.A fucking WILD game of chess; probably the lowest accuracy I’ve had in day chess for…a few years. I was essentially having to target pawns only as The_Kid had gobbled a bishop and a knight of mine early on and my only route to checkmate was the h-file rook and Queen doing something. My opponent made a mistake in pulling his king into the corner square with only a pawn protecting him on that side so my rook and Queen could corner him. I would have kept going as you still have a bishop and a knight but could understand the frustration at that point as you played great. 50% accuracy on my part in daily chess is hilarious. [emoji28]WiLD is the word.Well played. The correct guy got the win in the end though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 Division A GCarlos9 defeats EindhovenDee by resignation. After refusing a draw at Rook Vs Knight and Bishop one poor positional move a few moves later and it was over. In what must be the most played fixture in the leagues. Thanks for the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N5 Spur Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 On 11/02/2022 at 01:48, the tungston weasel said: I dont, I think I'll get whats coming to me. In seriousness I think that's the best I played since the new year and throwing the rook away into a checkmate makes me feel like a grandmaster. Unfortunately the computer says that was an inaccuracy so it turns out div C is the place I belong. See you in the return leg. Return leg (group C, round 14) sent for as and whenever suits you. I think I sent myself as White (as it should be) but not sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
