Ken Deans blunders a Rook. Loses to Mackieboz by resignation

Cheers for the game. That was incredibly close and I thought I was one bad move away from a doing. Would never have saw the blunder coming.

Great defensive display from the team, the squad is playing well.

Division C

Albino Rover barely has time to finish lacing up his boots before IncomingExile resigns after an idiotic set of seven moves....... no excuses for that but perhaps in future I will not have four games on the go! 

Well done Albino, I am going to stand in the corner and think about what I've done.....

Round 12

Board_Stupid vs Ziggy_the_Spider
beef2711 vs AH13STU

 

Beef2711 / @Stringer Bell hasn't completed a league game at all this season, and it's getting very late in the season; he seems to have started 3 league games and put them on hold with minutes to spare on the clock. I really don't like disqualifying people but if there's not some clear signs of catching up on his extensive backlog by the next round of fixtures, he'll get knocked out. Hopefully he's okay and this isn't a symptom of any major real life catastrophe at his end.

 

My second game against gkneil has been recorded as a defeat rather than a win.

I know we're of a similar level and you'll be targeting to finish above me in the league, but I didn't realise until now how much it means to you and the level of subterfuge you would employ to achieve that. I admire and respect your determination.

Fixed. It's not deliberate, honest! If I was being sneaky, I'd keep that spreadsheet to myself.

Division A

Round 9

AimHere offers three sacrificial minor pieces in the vicinity of Purplekangaroo's king, and Purplekangaroo eventually gives in and takes one of them. The game ends very shortly afterwards.

AimHere beats Purplekangaroo89 by resignation.

I've fallen for that one myself a million times. Never feel safe from it until I've castled.

Thanks for the games, I really enjoyed the away fixture in particular.

Ken Dean's wins by resignation v RBWatson. The early Bishop set the tone but defended beautifully by you. Thanks for an enjoyable game. This league is great

I just can't seem to avoid giving a piece away at the moment, and coming from behind is tough in this league. Well played.

Ken Dean's loses by resignation to Incoming Exile. Well played n a enjoyable game

Cheers Ken, that was a fascinating game with a lot of pawns left on the board at the end. I am still trying to work out where I went right, and thought that I still had a fair bit of work to do. Look forward to our next game.

Division C

After an epic battle with the league's wooden spoon potentially at stake, Strachanovski beats Incoming Exile by checkmate with his 87th move. I thought that not taking your rook sometime back in move fifty-something was risky and so it proved. Well played, I have really enjoyed both our matches. 

I would have resigned but after such a long game I couldn't bring myself to push the button, so made you carry on. Is that a breach of some form of etiquette?  If so I'II have to plead ignorance.  Look forward to the next game.
