Anyway, I think that game deserved a bigger stage than the foot of Div. C - unfortunately that's where I seem to be stuck! GG. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See below: I get the same as DoonHamer and you - the 80.8/72.6 scores. One possibility is that it's that RBWatson has a subscription and the rest of us don't and he gets a fancier version of stockfish to go with it - or it could be that RBWatson's analysis screen was the first one shown and the engine hadn't completely finished processing it. I have had annotations change slightly after some time before. (I do see that RBWatson took his screenshot a couple of minutes after Doonhamer, but the app/webpage may have rendered in the opposite order from the order the screenies were taken). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, it must not have been finished the analysis as I'm now seeing the 80.8/72.6 scores when I go back in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Elrohan beats PurpleKangaroo89 - checkmate.I was behind early on after a couple of daft mistakes - the ones where you move and then realise seconds later that you've mucked up.Hauled myself back into it - looked like it was heading for a draw until my opponent did the move below (see middle diagram) - he missed that I had not castled queenside.I almost threw it away with a brainfart blunder at the end (see bottom diagram) - missed win - but another mistake by my opponent allowed me to get my Knight into support the queen for mate.Another enjoyable game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It presumably went right over my head! Anyway, Division C Round 15 (IIRC), GordonS496 beats invergowrie. Having lost two games recently while trying to be all tactical and canny, this week I decided to get wired in. I thought my initial assault might have been held off but the pawn advantage was pretty big and told in the end. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not good enough to consider it an insult. If anything I'm grateful for the practice because I've handed opponents accidental stalemates before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
