GParsfan was also a really good player also. Is that your way of saying I only finished second this season because the division was a skoosh? My first two matches in the first season were against beef2711 and eindhovendee, which made me think I had made a terrible mistake signing up for this. Thankfully I soon found folk more at my level. This season, AimHere is on that sort of level and deservedly romped the league. He could go straight through Division B. The stand-out feature this season down in the basement division is the improvement in the general standard - folk that were fairly straightforward to beat with routine chess first time round are now really difficult opponents and simple lures don't work any more. Make a bad mistake against anyone and you're almost certainly going down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 I don’t if my opponent has already mentioned it but I defeated gkneil by resignation in my last game of the season. I think that means I’ll finish in 3rd or 4th overall. It was a bit of a meh season, have to do better next season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much in the game, at all, but I managed to get my Queen into a dangerous spot that ruffled feathers and allowed me to get the win. Good game. That is my final game of the season - thank you @Frank Grimes for organising another excellent seasona; bring on the next one!! Good game and confirms my relegation. The boys have been released as we build back better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted with the win mind as I've been utter dogshit for weeks now. Just can't seem to see the patterns atm. Looking forward to the end of the season. Tbh, thought this may have ended drawn. Think I'm going to have to start setting a proper board up as I somehow can't visualise things as good on screen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 @eindhovendee I am on annual leave this week, so I’ll be busy rather than just procrastinating at work. I’ll send you an invite now, but it may only be one or two moves a day. Should be clear to move at my normal pace towards the end of the week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

true_rover Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 An end of season win over DieHardDoonhamer in Division C by checkmate. Game that swung about a bit but did miss a chance to finish it off a little earlier than I did. Good game.Just the one game to finish for the season to me against cols407 - into a tight end game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilScotsman Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 @johnnydun You're due to make a move by the morning; feel free to stick it on vacation if you need to, I'm pretty sure I'm finishing in the East Stirling position regardless. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilScotsman Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Division C Round 21 RBWatson beats Johnnydun418 by checkmate. The run of 14(?) straight defeats has been ended; I'm delighted to get the monkey off my back before the end of the season. Doubt it'll be enough to lift me out of the wooden spoon position mind you.

pleslie99 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 Div C Pleslie999 beats Johnnydun by resignation. A couple of early blunders by my opponent left him significantly down material. Was a dead rubber anyway, mid table for us both I think. GG all the best 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good game.Just the one game to finish for the season to me against cols407 - into a tight end game.And finished with a win over cols407 by a long grinding down of wills. A game that could have went either way - certainly the game report on my side showed some blunders that could have sent it the other way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
