Recommended Posts

And just out of time for the update....

League A Round 3

Ziggy_The_Spider beats GordonEF by resignation

Very tough game, there were large sections of the middle and end game where I had no real idea what I should be doing. Lots of exchanges in the opening but we got to a point where we each had two Rooks and six pawns left and it became a bit of a grind from that point. I offered a draw, which was probably a bit cheeky seeing as @Ziggy had a bit of an advantage in pawn structure but I didn't really see a way to win and thought I might be able to grind him down to a long drawn out series of piece exchanges. But he declined and then played a very solid game to pick off a couple of my pawns and bring it down to just the pawns where he had an insurmountable advantage. I'm sure I made a few mistakes at least during the end game there but haven't checked back yet.

Thanks Gordon, I thought you played the opening really well and had a small advantage in terms of space and activity.

I couldn’t believe my luck when you voluntarily exchanged queens because I it just led to an endgame that I had a much better pawn structure and more active rooks.

Aye, the engine had me a bit ahead until the Queen exchange. I knew it wasn't great but I think I over-estimated how much of an advantage my quicker development gave me and thought getting your Queen off the board would give me a better chance to press that. The passed pawns came back to bite me in the arse though.

Is there a league for absolute beginners?

You could always ask someone here to play a friendly - there are a few here who could give you a game without necessarily ripping you a new one.

That would be nice. Anyone want a free shot?
