I think Eindhoven Dee and Beef2711 are safe in the top two. Leaving myself and GPars fighting for the playoff. I've still got a game v Gparsfan, I saw he had a few games on the go so I thought I'd wait until he sent me an invite. None came, so I've send him an invite now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Grimes Posted April 6, 2021 Author Share Posted April 6, 2021 (edited) This is how Division A stands at the moment Congrats to @Ludo*1 on a maiden season top flight title win However, I still have to confirm who finishes in the automatic relegation spots out of @Bigmouth Strikes Again and @Cardinal Richelieu I need to work out who won their 4 games in the fewest moves and I can only see Biggie’s wins against Cardinal and Richey I can’t see any of Cardinals victories on the App Care to do the math gents and put us out of our misery?

johnnydun Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 Thank you @Frank Grimes. This has been an excellent idea, thanks for organising it all. It has been a great, mind healthy side hobby for me, giving me a weekday escape from the pressures of my work just now. Look forward to the new season. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I played them both in multiple friendlies so it's very difficult to identify which ones were official matches. I'm happy to be relegated cos I'm totally out my depth in this league.

craigkillie Posted April 6, 2021 Share Posted April 6, 2021 For next season, perhaps a better tie-break method would be the "Sonneborn-Berger score" which is frequently used in chess tournaments. You basically add up the final score of all the players you beat, and add half the final score of all the players you drew with. Alternatively, and I think this would actually be my preference, you could set up a rapid and/or blitz tie-break between the players. The way a lot of professional tournaments do it is to start with two rapid games (maybe a 15 minute time limit) with each player having one game with white - if it's still a draw they go down to two (or four) 5 minute blitz games with the same format and then finally an "armageddon" game, where white gets 5 minutes, black gets 4 minutes, but black only needs to draw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
