pleslie99 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 @Ziggy defeats pleslie999 by resignation. checkmate was imminent so I fell on my own sword. Wasn’t even close in the end. Would be surprised if Ziggy didn’t drop a point this season. Well played sir! Look forward to my pumping later in the season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim Here Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Division A Round 6 Beef goes with his favourite Caro-Kann, we get into a closed position where I have all the room to move and he just has a pile of black pawns on white squares to hide behind and his position gets picked apart. AimHere beats beef2711 by checkmate. Edited May 23, 2023 by Aim Here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you resigned a few moves early. I was winning but there was still a chance I could have fallen for a back rank mate. I might have played on until my opponent played h6 or g6 to allow their king an escape route. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m pretty sure It was mate in 2 or 3, your Bishop had my king stuck in a corner so a check off your rock was devastating. I was never going to get to the back rank to worry you. in other news another defeat, this time to the_kid1433. Another one I was never in, analysis shows I only made 1 blunder, however my opponent played a pretty flawless game. Well played! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Saint beats XCTR94 by checkmate. I was genuinely fearing, my opponent opened very aggressive and had me trying to just play basics and capitalise on any errors. GG, best of luck for remainder of season 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 Division B, Round 8 Another typical caution-to-the-wind, attack like mad and never mind the casualties match with mackieboz/Stellaboz. This one saw mutually-assured reginacide within the first few moves followed by a purge of the clergy leaving us equal on cavalry, fancy houses and most of our workers still intact. We pretty much traded piece for piece until IncomingExile managed to get the better combination of positions with the remaining rook and knight pushing mackie's king towards my unadvanced pawns. Incoming Exile wins by checkmate, another really enjoyable match against mackieboz. Look forward to the return fixture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resignation was surely premature - even after your blunder, the position was drawn. I consider those three points of mine (or at least two of them) well and truly stolen! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aim Here Posted May 26, 2023 Share Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Division A, Round 8 Mathematics blunders a bishop, and I make the wrong decision to protect a 7th-rank pawn rather than keep the material advantage, and our mistakes cancel down to a drawn endgame. It was a fun, tricky game. AimHere and PnBMathematics draw by agreement. Edited May 26, 2023 by Aim Here 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
