I don't need to say anything more, a real low point. I won't embarrass you by telling everyone how many moves it was. Spoiler I will leave that to Del Boy...

DeeTillEhDeh Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I've definitely noticed Division A games are taking longer. Some folk obviously are available to play quicker games more than others but on average, the move time in Div A has been a fair bit longer. [mention=69974]Henderson to deliver .....[/mention] has probably been the only opponent who's been particularly fast with his moves. That bit of extra time to think is probably the difference between quite a few players. There were a couple of players in Div B last season that would play very good, solid chess for the majority of the game and then almost chuck the game with a quick move that ended up being a blunder. Haven't really seen that in Div A so far.I'm going to struggle doing 2 games a week for the next 3 weeks - up to my neck in marking/cross-marking/estimates at work plus my wife starts her radiology treatment next week. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've usually got a few on the go, but it's easy to get sloppy. Played a guy the other day who had over 80 daily games on the go at once. I had an opponent from Team Scotland game who had about 140 on the go. Although most of them are 3 day per move. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 (edited) I've been slow with my games this round. Move 8 in one and 15 in the other. I was tidying the garage yesterday to be fair. What a chore that is... Edit: I was at Edinburgh Zoo with the family on Saturday as well so didn't move then either.

Some irl stuff has come up which means I'm not going to have the time to fulfill my matches. I don't know whether you just want to scratch me from games from now and award my previous opponents this season wins or whatever. But I'm going to have to withdraw now. Sorry @Frank Grimes and thanks everyone for the matches Aye aye mate Do you recall what your results were and who they were against? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trogdor Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 @Frank Grimes I never reported that game with Madwullie as it was literally as he dropped out. He resigned after a couple of moves. Just in case you dock 3 points off me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
