  1. Curmudgeon beats Invergowrie by resignation Tight game up until Invergowrie's queen got a little too adventurous. redVtop beats Curmudgeon by resignation. Another very tight game up until one bad move, which at this level is usually enough to settle matters. Gg both
  2. Farewell to the steak and black pudding pies. You will be greatly missed.
  3. Curmudgeon beats stewartmathers by resignation A very entertaining, wild game which felt like the momentum swung back and forth including having my queen pinned at point blank range to my king. I absolutely rode my luck getting out of that. Great game, @free beer
  4. If any club with money needs one of Scotland's best right, sorry left backs then we might not be able to stand in his way. With a heavy heart we'll reluctantly let him move on.
  5. Thanks Ancientnoise. A tight game indeed, although you had me staring blankly at the screen at move 1 with no idea to to respond.
  6. Aimhere beats Curmudgeon by resignation It felt I didn't do an awful lot wrong in this one, but that highlights how good a game Aimhere had. Curmudgeon beats Kendeans by resignation I got off to a good start, picking up a pawn in the opening, but Ken managed to pull level shortly after. Not being able to castle was probably the critical factor.
  7. The reduction in the value of tangible assets is unrelated to the hospitality suite or the new construction. It's mainly the annual depreciation charge (about £26k) which is just an accounting entry to spread the cost of assets over multiple years. There were also disposals of a vehicle and some plant and equipment, but that was only about £3.5k. I'd expect the value of the hospitality suite would have been eliminated in the previous year's accounts as the decision had already been made to demolish at that stage (and therefore effectively worthless). There was a revaluation carried out in 21/22 and the value of the assets did reduce.
  8. An Arab double header for me to start the season. Curmudgeon beats Invergowrie by resignation. At the end game I had bishop and knight v rook which was quite the tactical battle, but the extra piece was going to be enough to get a pawn promotion. Curmudgeon beats Arabjoe by resignation. Managed to get a piece up and was left at the end game with bishop and pawns v pawns which was enough to overwhelm Joe. Good game both of you.
  9. Much like the first game, you played really well, there was really nothing in it. You seem to have improved hugely since the last time you were in this league. If you can keep on top of your time you could have a pretty good season. For anyone else in the league, don't believe his small fish in a big pond claims.
  10. You're doing yourself a massive disservice. I got careless with my pawns a couple of times and you played a great game and took advantage of my errors. I've been let off the hook with your timekeeping so I've sent out an invite for the rematch as it's the least you deserve.
  11. Yeah, once Broonie hears about this he'll have the lads fired up. 3 points plundered and it's all @Caro-Kann's doing.
  12. Maybe Bullen will recommend to Sheffield Wednesday that they put in a bid for the Ginger Giroud. Offer £1.5m and we can open negotiations.
  13. In again. Thanks for your excellent administration of the league.
  14. Couldn't agree more, his career is only heading in one direction.
  15. Cup result Curmudgeon beats markf268/ @true_rover by resignation It looks like it might be a while before the semi final draw so I'll arrange a winter training camp in the Algarve for the squad.
  16. It doesn't make a significant difference to the standings, but in week 20 you've got me down as a loss against Kendeans whereas it should be a win.
  17. Curmudgeon beats AH13STU by resignation Two minor errors settled this one. First was for a pawn, the second was a skewer that impaled a knight.
  18. His left arm is a lot longer than I remember. And his right arm a lot shorter as well.
