Uncle Psychosis Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Division A ChessBassGuitar beats Madwullie. Really interesting game, not much in it. Looking forward to analysing it properly with an engine later because I suspect there were loads of things I missed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotThePars Posted April 27, 2021 Share Posted April 27, 2021 Board_stupid beats NotThePars by checkmate. That's a match I really could've won if I hadn't been trying to pack at the same time and made a fucking stupid idiot mistake of not watching pawns. I genuinely might have donkey brains. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was beaten. After going a piece down I felt I had a decent chance to steal your queen, but you evaded everything. Just as I accepted it wasn't happening the pawn blindness moment happened. I got very lucky. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was one of the best games I've played. You were putting tons of pressure on but I was figuring out a way constant to manoeuvre around it. I'm not sure if I could've sustained it even with the advantage but that was a heavy disappointing error. Good game tho, already looking forward to the rematch. I'll be taking a week's annual leave for it though! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How's your general play been?I remember our first game and you came out all Nelson-bot like - which made it an easy win for me. Our next game was a lot tougher - have you continued to rein in those over-attacking instincts? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a couple of stupid moves that I just made because I couldn't think of anything else to do, and essentially they fucked me. Really enjoyable although as mentioned earlier the crowded board midgame gives me serious fear - might need to be more aggressive and just kick off some early trades in future ☺ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I quite enjoyed the chaos in the middle, could have gone either way for a long time. In contrast, I'm struggling against Dearyme and desperately trying to find some counterplay... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Division A Dearyme beats ChessBassGuitar Really struggled for active play. In contrast to my other game I think I liquidated the centre too early. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was course correction I think cause I was very over-cautious when I first started playing. I'll have no idea til I get finished moving down south I think and can start spending a bit more time sitting down and planning and playing. Not enough time to get back in the rhythm I had at my old job where I could skive and play haha! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In contrast to my other game I think I liquidated the centre too early. I think that's a fair assessment. I still felt it was extremely level. I had to hold the isolated d5 pawn which was an easy target. It was an interesting game as often opposite castling results in a pawn storm on either wing. It was actually only by chance (rather than design) that I noticed your Rook on g5 was in peril. I decided to go for it straight away but wondered if I could have left it a move or two. This gave me the exchange and then it was a matter of swapping down into a winning ending tbh. If I don't pick up the exchange I have a bit of an initiative but not sure its enough to win. I've started playing my daily league games on here on a physical board and that seems to help me. Edited April 28, 2021 by Trogdor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Psychosis Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I'd wondered whether that rook lift was a mistake but the engine doesn't seem to hate it so not sure where the opportunity was for me to not lose it. Think taking the queens off was a mistake. The opening was a bit of a weird one, was expecting a Pirc in which case my default plan is to launch my h pawn up the board but it turned into a weird Philidor which is an opening where I feel White should be better but I'm never sure how. Black just seems very solid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black just seems very solid. Yeah, I've not gone through it with an engine as yet. Queens coming off is always an agonising decision. There is no hard and fast rule either, its often a judgement call - style comes into it as well. The opening is an interesting one... I was actually playing for something else (that Simon Williams has done videos on) but we ended up in a position I'm familiar with. I couldn't really play the Scandinavian again as you'd have booked up from our friendly. I often open with d6 against e4 or d4. I like to keep it simple.

D Angelo Barksdale Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Beef2711 defeats gkneill via resignation. White opening with c4, the English, certainly caught me off guard, not something I'm used to playing against or have spent any time looking at. White lost a knight and brought out his queen early doors, unsure if this was a blunder or some tricks, but managed to fend it off and came out the opening 2 pieces up, traded the queens and eventually transposing to 2 rooks and 2 bishops vs 1 rook, 1 bishop before the game ended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing both Knights was intentional and all was going to plan until you played Ne6 in response to my check. I never spotted that, thinking you'd have had to use a bishop and I'd pick your Knight up. I also missed the chance to play Qe5+ a move earlier as your Knight on C6 was pinned by my Bishop. Still, you always had Ne6 and missing that ruined all my plans 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
