Leicesterlichtie Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 (edited) Following an early mix up in the Ayr defence leading to the first goal being scored, the Lichties battled away with the wind in their faces to take the spoils. DIV A RicheyEdwards 0-1 AH13STU In the other game, the Spiders started the match with some open and attacking play.The home side weathered the storm and tried to play on the counter. Neither keeper was troubled and the game fizzled out in a draw. Both managers were contempt with the result and look forward to the return fixture later in the season.

NotThePars Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I dunno if it's a mental block for the boys but when I take them out on glamour friendlies round the world in locations like Argentina and France we run up ludicrous cricket scores but back here in the league it's a different story 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiegoDiego Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Division A Round 3 DiegoDiego defeats gkneil Mother of all blunders x 2 congrats [mention=41834]DiegoDiego[/mention] You were a bit unlucky to play into the only opening I know a trick or two about. If you're not on the back foot you probably don't make those mistakes. Looking at the analysis I could have played a couple of moves better, but as Carlsen said yesterday about Dominguez missing a winning move "I didn't see it and neither did he, so who cares?"It's day two of the third Champions Chess Tour tournament today. Plenty of commentary options and it's worth a watch, at least for a wee while. Like turning on the Champions League after a game of fives. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorge Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Division B, Round 4, Bri1962 beats el_scorgio in the first Angus derby.

That makes sense on the truck or two as I can as pretty lost after a few moves as to where you were going. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madwullie Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) Division A madwullie beats Strachanovski @Bigmouth Strikes Again, good game mate. You made a mistake early on and finally I managed to capitalise. Thought it was going to go on for ever though.

DeeTillEhDeh Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 Bri1962 and I are having a tight cagey battle - we've had 17 moves each and only 2 pawns each are off the board. Could go any way right now.Think this one is going to take some time to complete 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N5 Spur Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 I realise I'm way too late for the league but if anyone wants a mid-season break friendly match (Daily Game, 24 hours), my username is roofterrace and I fluctuate between a lowly 800-900 ranking, so see it as an opportunity for a confidence boost, if needed... Thanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
