ancientnoise Posted Sunday at 18:34 Share Posted Sunday at 18:34 Another Result: Div A - Round 9 ancientnoise (white) beas Ken Deans by resignation. All very Even-Stevens this one, till Ken left himself open to a checking fork and lost his queen. Thanks @Ken Deansfor the match. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaSeDG0DSA1NT Posted Monday at 10:19 Share Posted Monday at 10:19 Smash and grab checkmate victory for Saint against @mathematics Strong opening by my opponent, one I have now looked at 2 or 3 times since our game as it was tough to play against. Hail Mary thrown and checkmate. GGs, 1 win each for this season. All the best for remaining fixtures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim Here Posted Monday at 10:58 Share Posted Monday at 10:58 3 hours ago, CarrbridgeSaintee said: Is there anywhere that explains how this league works? I think this is the latest post where the rules were explained, but I could be wrong. Not sure if it's fully up to date, but the basic gist is that every few months, people sign up to play two (or occasionally just one) 'daily games' on chess.com per week in a double round robin league with two divisions (using the football scoring systems of 3 points for a win and 1 for a draw and promotion/relegation, and people play each other once as white, once as black). Daily games are where you play a minimum of one move per day. All PnBers are welcome. @ancientnoise deals with the cup these days, which is a parallel FA-Cup style knockout tournament. We're about halfway through the season right now, but if this is the sort of thing you're interested in, I can pencil you in for next season right now. At the end of this season, I'll do a callup for next season, and again, you'd be more than welcome to join in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I probably couldn't commit to the weekly games, but appreciate the reply. Cheers 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N5 Spur Posted Monday at 20:31 Share Posted Monday at 20:31 Division B, Round 9 markf268 / @true_rover defeats N5 Spur by checkmate. All fairly close until the late 30s when a nice fork by my opponents bishop, with pawn strategically placed, meant he went a piece up (my knight) and kept it going from there on. Nicely played, gg, ttfn, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
