  1. Second name on the teamsheet for me, after McGinn.
  2. Thanks to you too AN. Fully expected to lose against a superior player but I'll try not to make it so easy in the reverse fixture.
  3. Div A A derby defeat for me against redVtop - blundered early in the game after which my Diamond opponent didn't make a false move. Well played. Looking forward to the reverse fixture later in the season.
  4. Division A A win for me against @Ken Deans - in a typical close-fought match, which started very attacking, Ken taking the upper hand before I pulled level on material and got the better of my opponent in the endgame. Neither of us is very likely to be a title contender but our meetings are always great value for the neutral! Thanks for the game.
  5. Well done @ancientnoise - going a season unbeaten against the big guns in Div A is no mean feat! Thanks again @Aim Here for organising, and count me in for next season please. In the meantime anyone who fancies a friendly please feel free to challenge me (AlbinoRov) - I badly need the practice.
  6. Marty Scorsese and Marty Crane (Frasier's dad) = two of the nicest men of all time.
  7. After 72 moves each, Mathematics resigns. A thoroughly enjoyable epic, worthy of a play-off final. Real touch-and-go until I managed to promote my pawns and get into a winning position. Huge commiserations to my opponent who I'd consider one of the favourites for promotion next season, (assuming no chess geniuses sign up and end up the runaway winner!) Thanks again to @Aim Here for organising the league. Looking forward to next season
  8. I finish off my season with a win against AH13 STU. A rewarding one for me, it's always good when you have to get crafty to win - and I pulled off a creative wee move at the end to get the winning position and force the resignation from a superior player. Thanks for the game, and thanks @Aim Here for organising the league.
  9. I have the following Div A results to report (apologies if any of my opponents have already posted any of these): L v arabjoe (me playing as black) L v invergowrie (me playing as black) L v The_Curmudgeon (me playing as white) W v the_kid1433 (me playing as black) Thanks all for the games.
  10. I completely agree this is the way to do it - you' pick up all the basic phrases of everyday language without even trying - and even for fluent speakers it will improve your vocabulary no end.
  11. A draw between me and beef2711 Definitely a better result for me after losing my queen and my opponent about to promote - I jumped at the chance to force a draw by repetition.
  12. A defeat for me against @ancientnoise Well-beaten by an excellent player. Thanks for the game.
  13. A win for me in Div A against @Ken Deans Our matches are usually close-fought but I felt I put my opponent in danger early on in this one, and saw it out from there. Thanks for the game.
  14. A defeat for me in Div A, against DearyMe. Against a player of that calibre I'm chuffed even to have taken him to 49 moves - but the result was never in doubt. Bossed from start to finish. Thanks for the game. A masterclass, as usual.
