Not surprised. You chased my King round that much the poor fucker is getting treatment from the physio.

Says he's going to stop smoking 🚬

I knew from the moment when we exchanged queens that it was going to be a long game.

You saw the game out better than I did. For all the king chasing that I did, it was a big ask to deliver a checkmate with the pieces that I had. I made a few poor decisions that cost me pieces that would have come in useful at that point.

A deserved win. Good luck in your other games.

My dad is in hospital and he's taken a turn for the worse sadly. I probably shouldn't have pitched in to the cup as something like this was pretty likely to happen, but I was missing the smell of the board. 

I'm not going to be able to play my match properly so I'll have to resign. Sorry for fucking things up a bit 🙏 🤝 

Hopefully you’re both okay soon.

GCarlos9 defeats JohnnyDun418 in the First Round of the cup.

A sneaky en passant pawn swipe assists the win.

Good game mate. Yes that was a very Mortal Kombat 'Finish him' move. Played!

Division C, Round 13

AimHere beats invergowrie with a  king-hunt checkmate, somewhat spoiled by the coup de grâce being delivered by the queen, instead of a pawn, as the engine analysis rightly suggests.

Good game mate. No let up. I only made one mistake the whole game (and one blunder but you were already mate in 2 by then) but it was foot on the throat stuff from the off.

Moving knight off to A rank is just shit chess and i missed that we could have just exchanged quite happily.

Hey, all the best for your old man. Hope he makes a recovery. 🙏

ITS THE BETH HARMON SCOTTISH CUP 1st ROUND

Arabjoe v GordonS496 

GordonS496 won this one at a canter (if that) - 960 definitely not my forte... 3 pieces blundered in 3 moves and it was time to throw in the towel.

Good luck in the next round, Gordon!

Div A - no idea what round it was but Ziggy beats gkneil.

I’ve been getting a bit bored playing d5 in response to d4 so decided to play the Benko Gambit. 

Fairly typical Benko, white ‘wins’ a pawn but has to be careful as black gets quick development, clear lines and can trap whites king in the centre.

gkneil wasn’t careful enough.

Thanks for the game.

ChessBassGuitar and GordonEF draw by repetition. 

Frustrating endgame, had a monster passed pawn but my king wasn't safe enough to make it count so had to settle for a draw. Good game though, enjoyed it 

Yeah, really tough game but enjoyed it. Feel pretty happy with the the draw as I thought I'd struggle to stop you promoting near the end. Like you say though, your King vulnerability gave me that wee chance and once I finally figured out how to get my bishop onto a diagonal that threatened your king and your passed pawn it got me back in it.

Beth Harmon Scottish Cup result:

Mackieboz beats Strachanovski by checkmate as the plucky underdogs snatch a win. Good game mate, I love the wild set up and the fact you quickly saw a chance to steal a piece or two with your knight at the start.

Thanks, enjoyed that as well, until I got caught at the end with the sucker punch!😀

Scottish Cup result.

@gkneil beats pleslie999 by checkmate.

A wild game, I had no idea what I was doing in the opening but thought I came out of it ok and was doing pretty well until a few blunders. Looking at the analysis I had the chance to win it somewhere in the middle. Anyone looking at that game it was blunder central by both of us for a bit, mine just ended up a bit more costly 🤣

Good game, beaten by the better player in the end.

Tremendous mess of a game. Good to end my run of about 11 or 12 straight losses 🤣

Beef 2711 beats PnB Mathematics by checkmate.

Good game, early f pawn push left his king exposed and I landed a full rook up, before going even further ahead. He battled on gamely, but eventually succumbed.

Good game m8.
