Gordon EF Posted May 8, 2021 Share Posted May 8, 2021 31 minutes ago, DeeTillEhDeh said: My style is very conservative and patient - that probably works well with lower ranked players who can be a bit gung-ho - as I've met better players this season it's got a lot tougher because my conservative play is more likely to end in the draw than all-out win or defeat. Yeah. Not that I'm necessarily experienced enough to tell whether someone's cheating with a high accuracy but for me, across all our games, you've had a very consistent style which suggests you're not. It seems to me like you generally keep things very tight and wait for your opponent to make a mistake and then pounce on it. You've been very consistent like that and I've tried to adapt my game against you in the most recent games to deal better with that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curmudgeon Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Division B round 8 Board_stupid beats Cardinalrichie by checkmate The Cardinal lost a knight early on which helped me stay ahead until a sudden checkmate opportunity presented itself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Grimes Posted May 9, 2021 Author Share Posted May 9, 2021 Two wins this week against DieHardDoonhamer and Cols407 Was getting beat comfortably in the latter game but one slip up allowed me to promote a pawn and pick up a Bishop and a Rook into the bargain which completely flipped the game on its head 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim Here Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Division C, Round 8 AimHere beats mackieboz through resignation after a couple of careless one-move blunders. Division C players really should check that they're not about to accidentally throw pieces/the game away before committing to a move! They have plenty of time. The same presumably holds for Division A and B but I've no experience of playing those guys yet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NotThePars Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I was wondering why I had been emailed saying that I was being credited additional points. Second time it's happened in a month but given the other time it was in blitz I wasn't in any doubt that it was due to cheating. Ah well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicesterlichtie Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 In the battle of the Lichties, @keptie comes out on top. Never got going following a QGA where I ended up 2 pawns down and black playing with a diamond formation on the queenside against my sweeper left on his own. Well played. Having second season syndrome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aim Here Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Division C's top of the table clash in round 7 had GordonS496 and AimHere drawing even. An Albin countergambit and an ill-advised rook-for-knight swap left me slightly down materialwise and I didn't have quite enough oomph in attack to actually win the game, even with a well-passed pawn, so I had to resort to forcing a draw by repetition, rather than leaving GordonS with enough time to put his rooks and queen into action.

Someone put in here a couple of weeks back that so many of us are uncomfortable with tension on the board and always seek to resolve it, often at the expense of the wider game. This was absolutely a case of that. Ah well, it's a good learning. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
