101 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Out the cup I go, only 3 blunders which is actually probably a record, but I didn't take a single opposing piece so there is also that... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Angelo Barksdale Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 beef2711 beats hammysgettingpumped in the 1st round of the cup. The lads reacted well to the different set up, grabbed the initiative early doors and secured their passage into the next round. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loki Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 An away trip to Australia. That’s me in quarantine awaiting flamingalah01 to accept the challenge and let me out. I’ll be in Australian time watching some of the tennis over the weekend if you have a time early morning UK time that you’d be online. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 After an enforced delay due to adverse weather conditions, the second game in the space of a week between RicheyEdwards and AH13STU gets underway at an empty Somerset Park. I have never played this variation of chess before. What the hell even is this? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomorrow afternoon? Or we can play it over a, few days, I'm unsure when I'm free at the moment going forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellaboz Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 When suits? I’ll probably be drunk by the time you read this so would prefer a morning kick off. Happy to play for a bit now, not sure if you got the request as from my mobile it's hit and miss. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GordonS Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Not wild about fitting in another game of daily chess a week, I'm finding 2 hard enough so I was hoping the cup might be timed. I see I'm drawn against higher division opposition with four wins out of four, so I probably don't need to worry about fitting in more games for long. Maybe do a timed League Cup later? Those who can't manage don't need to enter, and I'm sure most of us can find a shared 20 minute slot somewhere in our week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a Jumbled back line, it would be more interesting if all the pieces were jumbled like the king in the front line. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiegoDiego Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 It's just a Jumbled back line, it would be more interesting if all the pieces were jumbled like the king in the front line.I think you'd probably give white way too much of an advantage. There might even be some forced mates, too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madwullie Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 (edited) madwullie beats markf268 in the cup. Really awful game, probably because neither of us had a fucking clue what was going on with the back line. War of attrition in the end that the analysis tells me I missed 5 opportunities for mate. Not a scooby about that at the time. Once he lost his queen it was an uphill battle but mark thankfully resigned or we'd still be playing when the draw for the next round was made.
