Very hard for you to win but I still had a lot to do and every chance of me making an error That said that's probably my most solid game yet. No errors and no mistakes. The only real difference was that unforced knight you gave me and when I was able to pressure two of your bishops and get one early in the game I could probably have dragged it out longer, but it had got to a point where it was needing flawless play from me and multiple mistakes from you for me to get back in to it, and there were no signs of either of those things happening. You played a solid game and deserved the win. Well played. 16 hours ago, pleslie99 said: Pleslie999 beats DieHardDoonhamer by resignation. Was quite a cagey game and not much in it until I forked your King and rook when I think u wanted me to trade Queens, enjoyable game and 2nd win out of 2 this week! Well played. Again I feel like I put myself in bad positions, but I think that just made your win easier, rather than it actually changing the outcome. Good game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how Frank is dealing with the people who have to resign, but if it means awarding me a victory, it'll mean I've managed to beat one Dunfermline team (my match against NotthePars isn't going well!) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilScotsman Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Division C, round 5: RBWatson beats Cols407 by resignation. I felt like I was in a slightly better position, but wasn't really doing anything with it aside from making your king dance around a bit. The Qe2 move had me worried (the queen and rook on the e file was ominous) until I realised you'd moved your queen into my bishop's sights. GG. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's maybe the best game of chess I've played at this point. Think move 11 was the game changer when you moved your bishop and allowed my queen to get stuck in amongst it and open up my rook to make a play. My biggest worry later on was you would risk one of your rooks to take my queen out the game but I think you were maybe more understandably concerned with keeping the two of yours on the board which was where you had an advantage. Good game though! Need to convert this into some momentum and hopefully it doesn't derail your promotion push haha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stellaboz Posted May 4, 2021 Share Posted May 4, 2021 Invergowrie and Mackieboz agree to a draw in division C. GG, that's pretty fair. I'm so out of my groove right now, working a lot so need to find more time to play some games. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keptie Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 (edited) beef2711 defeats Bri962 by resignation Division A round 6. After gifting beef my knight i was pissing against the wind especially where it happened, it was just a total rear guard action that was only going one way. Glad it's over tbh but well played beef you got your chance then throttled me. Edited May 5, 2021 by keptie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Div 1, wk 6. Ziggy beats PurpleKangaroo. Similar opening to the corresponding fixture from last season. I managed to trap Black’s King in the centre. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon EF Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Apologies @keptie and @Leicesterlichtie. My games are dragging a bit. Just bought a flat and I'm dealing with moving / buying crap for it at the moment so struggling to get out more than one or two moves per day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help would be appreciated The league tables are on a spreadsheet but I use a website to generate the fixtures and they’re saved there I’m just busy as hell this week, the fixtures can be out by tonight in theory, it’s just that the league tables are currently on a desktop on a broken laptop 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
