BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted July 21, 2023 Share Posted July 21, 2023 I've started watching chess on YouTube at nights in bed to help me sleep. Not only am I sleeping within 15mins however I've also learned a few things about chess.com. pre-moves or conditional moves I think it's called. What I can't seem to figure out as I'm still really bad with chess.com, plus I play mobile, hopefully some of you guys will know...... When I watch Chess Vibes in bed he can calculate by drawing little arrows, where pieces will move, he uses it to calculate exchanges to see if he comes out on top. Sorry its hard to explain but if anyone knows how to do this and cares to explain it be much appreciated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, you were up in material and it was only a matter of time. Nicely played, good luck for next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N5 Spur: hold my beer (possibly). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 @Aim Here Finally gotten around to sorting out my results. Belated results as follows and current status on the two missing: Division A Round 13 result DearyMe defeats invergowrie by resignation. Division A Round 18 result DearyMe defeats Dandies1983 by resignation. I have one game in progress versus AH13STU. I have also just sent an invite to beef2711. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry its hard to explain but if anyone knows how to do this and cares to explain it be much appreciated. He's probably doing it via a desktop web browser, where the arrows are drawn by right-dragging with the mouse, and which works even in games with short time controls (unlike conditional moves). This might not translate well to mobile, where the device doesn't know or care which finger you're dragging with, so I suspect the app doesn't support it. As someone who uses the phone as little as I can get away with, I'm not even sure how you could right-drag using the website and a general purpose web browser on a phone.

Leicesterlichtie Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 Late result update. AH13STU beat PnBMathematics due to my stamina wearing his brain out. He was doing well but I kept waiting for my chance. Thanks for the battle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albino Rover Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Division A win for me against beef2711 - I came back from a rook and a pawn down to take material advantage and eventually clinch the win. Thanks for the game. My league season is now over, but I might yet have a play-off to face, so should keep myself sharp - if anyone wants a friendly, feel free to challenge me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 26, 2023 Share Posted July 26, 2023 Division B, Round 21. Pleslie999 wins by checkmate, a long game but far from close, as the home side was clutching at straws for a good part of it, and I played on in the vain hope of a meteor strike on the chess. com satellite forcing a draw. No such luck. Thanks for the game, well played. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 960 Chess League I've tagged in the eight other league members who've expressed an interest onto a new topic, so as not to overload this thread or potentially confuse reporting of results in future. If anyone else wants to join in, go to that separate thread where there will be a chance to decide on the format. The aim is for it to be a fairly short tournament that will not overlap too much with the next season of the main, proper League, but hopefully gives a bit of variety due to the random starts. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
