ancientnoise Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 8 minutes ago, Curmudgeon said: Cup result Ancientnoise beats Curmudgeon by resignation I was a bit more aggressive in the opening than usual, which led to a pretty sharp position, but one underwhelming move gave me a uphill struggle from then on which I was unlikely to come back from. Well played, good luck for the rest of the competition, although it's probably everyone else that'll need the luck. Some small revenge for the last Cup Final but a difficult match again, as expected. I was expecting white to castle queen side and eliminate the pin on move 11, so that took me by surprise a little. Got out of a pickle after your horse charged in like a Scots Grey which was very unsettling. Ended up going for an old-fashioned blockade after that. Fine margins as they say. Thanks for the game @CurmudgeonI look forward to our next match, and best of luck in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ancientnoise Posted August 14 Share Posted August 14 P&B Cup Summer '24 So I've scanned the forum and checked the results on chess.com and I *think* I have this correct regarding the winners from each tie.... If that's all good, then I'll post the quarter final draw very soon. If it isn't let me know asap please @Stellaboz@invergowrie arab@Caro-Kann@mathematics@Cheese@Davi3j@pleslie99 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ancientnoise Posted August 17 Share Posted August 17 P&B Cup Summer '24 OK gents. My Brother in law was over for some festival thing so I asked him if he would be kind enough (and to save myself a fiver by asking the kid again!). For some reason he found "stellaboz" very amusing. I nodded but never inquired why.

N5 Spur Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 N5 Spur 'defeats' arabjoe / @arab_joe (Division B, Round 9) and dustysghost / @The Other Foot (Division B, Round 10). However, both were due to timeouts, so more than happy to replay both matches if that's in the rules, and if either opponent wishes to. Both let me know, please. Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
