Actually looking at the table I don’t know if there’s a mathematical way for me to stay up, hence why I said I’d resign my last match…but I can’t work if out. With the current league as-is (and if we revoke your resignation from the league), you'd be three points behind the_kid1433, and you have a better head-to-head record against him, so it is mathematically possible for you to not be relegated, if you win your next game, and he loses. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully @true_rover hasn't taken advantage of the gap in his schedule to make alternative plans. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilScotsman Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Division C, RBWatson beats @IncomingExile by checkmate. Perhaps not the highest quality, with 22(!) blunders between us, but exciting nonetheless as I somehow managed to exchange my knights, bishops and one rook for a queen and all bar one of my opponents pawns, along with his king in the middle of the board. My remaining rook and queen eventually found a way to trap the king, but only after several rescues which I hadn't spotted and (at least) one point at which I was sure I was going to lose. Thanks for the game, I look forward to meeting you again next season! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers for both games, my application for re-election is in the post.......... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A load of stress though, knew one mistake and you would capitilise, even at the end a stalemate was always possible. Going out on this high, and having a rest for a season. Thanks for the battle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilScotsman Posted October 21, 2022 Share Posted October 21, 2022 Division C, RBWatson beats Strachanovsky by checkmate. Thanks for the game; I was trying to line up the Queen and rook on the same file, then the check with the bishop sort of fell into my lap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will complete my final fixtures, but after that, I'm out. Thank you. If my abacus is correct, this result officially gives me the league's wooden spoon. I've worked bloody hard to win that, I started out mid-table on alphabetical order before anyone had played a game so I had a lot of ground to dig away. Sorry to see that you are leaving, our two games went to 129 moves and I really enjoyed both of them, even if I was on the losing side. Hope you might rejoin at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
