Curmudgeon

You've wasted your money as it'll be brought down by a wayward McGinty pass immediately after kickoff.

Dream trip? Jet2? Hmmm...

Just on this thread. Then, despite your earlier gentle jibe, I'm sure Aim Here will add you in to the league for season 9.

I found the lessons on chess.com to be helpful. Reviewing your game analysis can give a good insight into where mistakes were made which also adds to the learning process. But the best thing you can do is join the chess league on you favourite football themed social media website as it welcomes players of all abilities. All you need to do is post your chess.com user name. Also applies to @The Other Foot

It looks like he's been left with a couple of black eyes. Disgraceful.

This is like when one of the more villainous characters in Game of Thrones gets killed off. You feel they deserved their comeuppance, but that the overall story will suffer through their absence.

How did they manage to get a plane to fall out of a window?

The high speed semi final involving comically bad chess from both participants (including at one point advancing a pawn instead of capturing due to fat fingers) results in Curmudgeon advancing to the final through blind luck more than anything else.

Happy balti to you, Richey.

Much as I hate to be pedantic (not true, I actually love it), but the shadows indicate that the sun is shining from the north. It was probably the panda that did this with another dose of his shithousery.

@Albino Rover waiting for Beef's results coming in. The relegation playoff spot is literally going down to "The Wire".

Heads gone all over the thread if we re-sign Houston.

Thank f**k we didn't sign Rick Astley then.

Division A Curmudgeon beats Beef2711. I was taken by surprise when faced with Nc6 instead of the Caro-kann, so in absence of any real strategy I mainly just charged my pawns forward which worked quite well tying The Wire's bishops up on his queen side. @free beer that's @Trogdor you're looking for, for your cup game.

You're making it sound a bit more comfortable for me than it actually was. For 30 plus moves there was nothing in it and I was struggling to see how to make a breakthrough. It wasn't until the ill fated knight move that turned it in my favour. Even then I had to be on my toes to stop your pawn from promoting. Good game. Also in division A Curmudgeon beats PurpleKangaroo89 by resignation. I managed to break through after the kangaroo castled on the queen side.

I thought it was Bobby Moore jewellery shopping in Mexico that said that.

Division A Curmudgeon beats Dandies by resignation. One early mistake put me a piece up. Despite that Frank then went on to play a very solid game and didn't make it easy for me. I had to rely on pushing a pawn towards promotion in the end game to force the win.

Dearyme beats Curmudgeon by resignation. I thought I did alright for the most part, but almost always slightly down in this game. I was hanging in when a slight miscalculation gave me sufficient reason to wave the white flag.

Cuntryfile Holby Shitty The Darling Fuds of May The Cockwombles c**t and Dick's Saturday Shite Takeaway Have I done this properly?

He's most effective on the right wing so could be worth a punt.

Division A Curmudgeon beats stewartmathers. This was largely down to not castling early which left freebeer with an exposed king and a rook that was completely sidelined.

Division A Curmudgeon beats beef2711 by resignation. There wasn't much in this, but then it can be a game of fine margins. I managed to pinch a couple of pawns in the middle game which turned into a decent advantage as it got to the end game.

I'm fully on board with the swimming pool/hot tub behind the new stand. It's little touches like this that make the difference.
