eindhovendee Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 From week 1it is showing me as a winner against Gparsfan as he timed out. Am happy to restart from where the game ended, if that is OK? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 DieHardDoonhamer defeats Cols407 by checkmate. The analysis says I only made 1 mistake, so probably one of the best games I've played. My other fixture isn't going so well, though. Need a miracle there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would also be happy to reset to the last position rather than win by default. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I've just had the chat function muted for 24 hours for being offensive?! I've not even fucking spoke to anyone today except to say good game. Fucking wanks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not even fucking spoke to anyone today except to say good game. Fucking wanks. I've had the same. Don't know what it was that triggered it, and since I don't aim abuse at opponents (only myself when I blunder), I was super-surprised. Thing is, since there's no notification of what you said that caused the issue, you don't know what behaviour of yours you're supposed to modify. Still, it's just a day of not saying 'gg' to random internet strangers. You'll survive! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 League A round 1 GordonEF draws with Elrohana Tight game most of the way through. Barely anything in it for the first 20 moves. @DeeTillEhDeh carved out a bit of a lead before making an uncharacteristic blunder, giving up a knight that put me in a fair lead according to the analysis. A few inaccuracies on my part got us back to parity and we ended up drawing due to repetition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 GordonEF vs Elrohana - draw by repetition.I had a major brainfart blunder when ahead by 1 pt - gave away my knight for a pawn by moving way too quickly - I had looked ahead and played it the move too early - meant to move my rook first but forgot!! The lesson - never play when you are tired!Had a real battle to get back but eventually my 3 pawns vs his extra piece was about balanced once I manoeuvred my pieces to protect the pawn chains. I had considered resigning when I ballsed up but stuck it out - glad I did.The draw by repetition was almost inevitable - I would have been close to offering the draw even if he had not done the 3rd knight move.A real good game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said, I was a lot happier tonight as I dragged my way back into the game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting you down to one bishop was key - once I did that it was a lot easier for me. I agonised over move 30, whether to give up my light or dark squared bishop. I thought keeping my light-squared one pointing down the long diagonal at the King was best so I moved the rook to let you take the dark-squared one for your knight, rather than taking the knight with the light-squared and letting you re-take. Turns out that was the mistake that got us back level in the analysis. I'll have to have a look at that other road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
