Result: Div A - Round 4 ancientnoise (black) beats invergowrie by resignation. Noticed that the Game Review tool on chess.com was down and unusable for a while after this one, which is probably a blessing in disguise for both of us. Thanks to @invergowrie arabfor the match. -

Result: Div A - Round 1 ancientnoise (white) happily takes the offer of a draw from RedVtop. Two white bishops, a rook each, equal / unpassed pawns, not much scope for attack by either. Fair result. Thanks to @Caro-Kannfor the match and again welcome to Div A. -

A gentleman's offer for you @pleslie99 Your game versus @Curmudgeonwas intriguing and even-stevens IMO. Reminder that the other semi has yet to get under way, so plenty time. No rush. -

Thanks for the kind words @Trogdor. I'm sure we'll have some great matches going forward. I'm also sure we can both thank @Aim Herefor his excellent work with organising and maintaining this league. Truly appreciated. -

So I was playing through all the lines at that point, but TBF reckoned black was still able to at least get "une poursuite constante", or even force a draw by insufficent material, whichever way white moved the king. Not 100% certain on that, and TBF I was glad to stop having to think about it when the white king moved as it did. I was there for the taking earlier, but that's more a stategic late-game assessment. -

If my best chess pal ( @Curmudgeon 2023) is in, then so am I. Totally agree with the second sentence. Thanks again @Aim Here -

Thanks for letting me know the result @pleslie99. Just had a look at the match, and TBF I'm not sure I've seen a pawn so far up by move 13, causing all sorts of trouble !
