danydandan Posted January 12, 2019 #126 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I am just thinking out loud here, would people be interested in an on-going chess league? Similar to EFL. The tournament can be like the FA Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Earl.Of.Trumps Posted January 12, 2019 #127 Share Posted January 12, 2019 @danydandan jeezus where did you come up with that move?! you just left the complexity factor at warp 3! A good move requires a thoughtful response. A chess league...? hmmm, not sure that many in here play at a serious level. But who knows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But who knows I'm not sure if that's insulting or complementary.lol It's the only move I could see that would let me keep my Queen for at least another 5-6 moves, without moving it and we need to exchange some captures.

I'd have taken my pawn at c4 long ago, but hey, you had all kinds of ways. I had a nice active centralized bishop. Your doubled C-Pawns were a positional weakness. Something I could attack any time and it made your bishop more or less useless. I knew there was a good chance of heading towards a king and pawn ending if we traded down aggressively and in that situation doubled and isolated pawns become difficult for you to defend.

But I haven't played chess in quite a long time and it is good to stick to the principles that I know works at least until I have cleaned some of the rust off.
