Scorge Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Divison B, Round 9, el_scorgio beats Dandies1983 by checkmate. Burned a bishop early on to grab the queen, and then gradually fired everything into the corner. Another away win courtesy of some dirty Sicilian action, mmm. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a quite lovely move to capture the queen. A good reminder to always look for checks (both your own and your opponents) first! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorge Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 I levelled things up for the day by kebabing myself inside 10 moves in another game I was playing at the same time! Sometimes you see them, etc..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnydun Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 @the aggressive beggar, I will accept your game once my other one is complete mate. I can't do 2 at once. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very well played Losing the Queen was bad enough but I didn’t spot the counter check when I forked your Rooks with my Knight. Borrowed time after that. Finally got another win on the board against @arab_joe though He took control early on picking up one of my Rooks but made a fatal error in bringing his King into play to pinch a pawn which meant I was able to take his Queen. Completely flipped the game on its head. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know there was supposed to be a trap in there of some sort, but I couldn't see it. I thought offering the queen trade might spoil your plans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you know blundering two pieces to you spoiled my plans more In my head the Russian coach from Queen’s Gambit was standing over me, kicking me to death stating “You Must Resign Now”.

I really struggle to cope with two games at once, so can it wait until after Henderson has finished doing the mean things to me that he's so clearly lining up to do? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterlichtie Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 I was up to 5 games at once last week. Maybe this is too much for my players, burning them out quickly and hindering performance. Tried squad rotation for the cup but perhaps that's not enough. All good fun though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must admit a cynical part of me thought this would crash and burn with pull-outs well before now. Heroes to a fucking man I've found the format difficult, especially when games run into the Monday, and I'll probably not play next season, but you'd have to be a bit of a d!ck to walk away and leave folk without an opponent. I misread the format and thought it was one game a week rather than two, but I still wouldn't consider chucking it. If I just stop playing and posting, assume I've died. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
