Division C Round 6 Johnnydun418 beats GordonS496. @GordonS Good game mate that last move surprised me as much as it surprised you I bet! How the fuckety fucking f**k did I not see that coming. That's possibly my worst checkmate ever. If anyone needs me I'll just be away killing myself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richey Edwards Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 (edited) What's the policy on winning on time? Because I've just won one of my games on time, but tbh I'm not sure I want to have won a game that way. I'd rather win because I actually won.

You'll be entitled to claim a win, but instead you could contact your opponent and suggest you both replay the same moves until you get to the position it timed out at. Then play it out to a finish. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone can’t make one move in 24 hours that’s their own fault. You win in other chess formats if their timer runs out. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still wasn't sure I'd be able to make inroads on your kingside. Was definitely on last gap attack option at the end, relied on you blocking check with rook allowing me a chance to move my king into a better position. You certainly deserved something and I only refused your draw offer as I was sure I could still manage a win. Good effort pal. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ziggy Posted May 7, 2021 Share Posted May 7, 2021 Div 1, week 5. Beef2711 draws with Ziggy. According to the computer analysis I had an accuracy of 98.1% so I’m a bit disappointed not to have won however Beef had a score of 99% and out of his 44 moves, 31 were considered the best move, 8 were excellent, 2 were good & 3 were book. It’s no wonder I couldn’t win (and I really tried). Very well played mate, I’m looking forward to the rematch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Changed the opening up a bit as I know you sometimes do a bit prep, but in both this game and against @DeeTillEhDehI've been pretty passive as white, never in any danger of being overwhelmed, but never putting any big pressure on my opponent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheesh, You guys aren't both just turning stockfish on and having the computer play itself are you? I definitely spend much longer thinking about moves in the p&b league and against stronger opposition. In this game I used the analysis/magnifying glass thing for every move, sometimes playing 7 or 8 shots ahead in all different scenarios. In other games I'll do this sometimes, but usually just wing it. It's why I'm not great at short time controls. The result of this is a game of manoeuvring bishops and rooks around and exchanging pawns until we agree a draw. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The result of this is a game of manoeuvring bishops and rooks around and exchanging pawns until we agree a draw. Yeah, I've noticed something similar with my games in the seaside league - my CAPS score tends to be higher than in my rapid games due to the extra thinking time and the ability to come up with deeper combinations (which tend to get missed by the opponents). And instead of the magnifying glass thing, I use a real-life chessboard and push bits of wood around before putting the move into the computer. I'm not sure if that helps avoid blunders or not... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
