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

Speaking of McAllister
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.

P&B Cup - The Final
.....and the winner is...
Curmudgeon
The reigning Cup holder has his name etched onto the trophy once again, and does so with an expert performance.
A tight final, as expected. All the way into the middle game that is, when Curmudegon - already a pawn up - took the onus with a nifty central pawn move. All hell broke loose after that.
In the end game I was just chasing shadows, trying to avoid the inevitable. My opponent didn't put a foot wrong.
Well played @Curmudgeon.
A well deserved victory, and thank you again for the game!
Thanks Ancientnoise. A tight game indeed, although you had me staring blankly at the screen at move 1 with no idea to to respond.

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.

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.

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.

Cup semi final result
@Curmudgeonbeats pleslie999 by timeout (again)
my apologies again, been really snowed under and lost track of the game. Well played and good luck in the final
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.

pleslie999 loses to @Curmudgeon by timeout.
apologies, got snowed under with work today and totally lost track. Was totally out of ideas anyway and would’ve been shuffling pieces around until you inevitably stuck me in a completely lost position. Well played and cheers for the game. Good luck in the final.
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.

Yeah, once Broonie hears about this he'll have the lads fired up.
3 points plundered and it's all @Caro-Kann's doing.

Kilmarnock man devises William Wallace approach to protest new matchday parking restrictions
Rugby Road resident received a ticket after parking his car outside his house on Saturday's match day
A Kilmarnock man has adopted William Wallace's famous freedom speech to embark on a crusade of his own.
Neil Carlton has waged a war of words against parking restrictions brought in to address traffic issues on Kilmarnock FC Saturday match days.
The Rugby Road resident wants locals to be issued with residents' parking permits instead of the blanket ban on all vehicles that was introduced.Neil has continued to park outside his house on match days with a protest notice on his windscreen. But now he's been slapped with a penalty notice.
The nick of that fingernail.

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.

Couldn't agree more, his career is only heading in one direction.

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.

There are five matches still to complete, all in progress, as far as I can tell, with stuff to play for at both ends of the table (if AlbinoRov doesn't get a result against AH13STU, the head-to-head results suggest that beef2711 gets the playoff spot)
14 AlbinoRov vs AH13STU
21 DearyMe vs ancientnoise
21 KenDeans vs AH13STU
22 ancientnoise vs KenDeans
22 AH13STU vs stewartmathersResults and calculations are on the spreadsheet at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1YwODlp2A0TBMf2VuyjJox4ZaiyNKmLk37TH0_HrC-jk/
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.

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.
