N5 Spur Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 45 minutes ago, Curmudgeon said: If you fire off a game invite to him I'm sure he'll pick it up and get the game started. You don't need to wait for one game to finish before starting another btw (Ziggy will be able to vouch for the ability to have multiple games on the go). Incidentally @N5 Spur and @GallowayBlue it looks like your game was the wrong way round in terms of black/white - the home team plays as white. Unless Frank has a different view I'd suggest that you play the return fixture the opposite way to even it up when it's scheduled in a few weeks' time. Understood, thanks. 4 hours ago, SweeperDee said: @N5 Spur, when are you available to play for round 2? Happy to play now - as @Curmudgeon says, will (gladly) play more than one game at a time - a few weeks ago I inadvertently (and ridiculously) ended up having 26 games on the go due to a couple of tournaments starting around the same time - suffice to say, it didn't end well... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mobile app for Chess.com is fucking donkey dick. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SweeperDee Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Division CXCTR94 beats N5_Spur by checkmate. Well played buddy; played well defensively but it’s always a struggle when you’re down a 2 bishops and a rook against 2 rooks. Less pawns as well to create those chains made it difficult as well. Onto the next round? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onto the next round? Well played, you had me on the backfoot from the start - the result was never in doubt and my only hope was you hitting the wrong key on your phone. Yes, let's kick off the return leg. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loki Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 What’s the rules on someone not moving and then going on vacation? @Frank Grimes @eindhovendee hasn’t moved since Friday, and new league fixtures are out tomorrow. The slow play in this league is ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You only need to play the one game against each this round, the return game gets scheduled later in the season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long game but I’m not used to the longer day turns so that’s to be expected; traded a lot of pawn material earlier on but that suited me allowing me to bring my pieces out to play fairly sharpish in the game. It was a good game and Strachanovski definitely knows his chess by basically playing the best moves he could but ultimately losing his rooks cost him. Well played Sweeper, thought I played reasonably fast. Thank you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s fair enough. If you messaged me saying that I’d have accepted a draw.

Trogdor Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Just for reference my 2 games in Division A are currently at 10 moves & 13 moves. I'm not surprised by that, I've had a busy week and it's 1 move per day after all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you I have the attention span of a gold fish if I'm playing anything resembling classical/daily-play chess so that's why I usually just instantly return a move; not calling you slow I'm just an impatient c**t. Thank you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s one move a day on the app, but our rules are all matches need to be completed within 14 days of the published fixture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
