It took me by surprise as much as you, Dio.

CW dominating league 6. Also dominating me in our return match so I’d say he’s nailed on for promotion.

Nice work CW. Getting through games quickly as well!
Looks like Smugbloke, followed by Bax and CW have completed the most but may have missed some.
Fetch - is it possible to add a games completed column to the league?

I'm determined to get better at live but need to not pressure myself. I played a game yesterday and was actually not in a bad position but quit on a move that looked winning for my opp but was rated a mistake. The frustration is I didn't see it and had total tunnel vision for a few squares rather than taking in the full board. In daily I'd have have gone away and spotted the potential saving move later but in live I just panicked, lol. Doesn't help that I realise I'm not playing as well as I could. I know I'm going in trying too hard and feel the fog but hard to stop even though I know about it.
I then played another game and played a little off beat instead of in a normal manner and felt on the back foot straight away.

I definitely have a blind spot for bishops on my 10 minute games. I'm so focused on my way to win that when another piece moves to expose the bishop I totally miss it.

Wizzo is also monstering me in a wee side-match we’re having!

I'm happy getting how many played from the W L D in the triangles, if Fetch can add the column without it all getting squished fair enough.
My triangles are up to date  still playing first game against MrTea, believe he has a lot of games going on, will play 2nd leg after that. In division 2 it looks like all the games in play at the same time, that would result in an "out of cheese error" for me
State of mind has a huge influence, really hard when you lose confidence in your own decision making. Read a story suggesting even Kasparov had a crisis of confidence - in one of the big computer matches so we're in good company

Cheg - Yes long range snipers easy to miss. In my case, it was a rook. I'm glad I actually spotted it before moving my queen though as actually losing the queen instead of resigning would have been worse. I lost a knight though as I thought I'd covered it with the queen.
Bax - Should be fine if only in landscape for mobile.
Fine in my own league with just WLD, but easier to track other leagues with a number.
I can confirm all games are in play in Div 2 but as I had 5 days per move on mine, one game per opponent is on the back burner. Next time will just go with one per opp.
Totally agree about state of mind, my state of mind in live is totally different from daily. The panic can still happen, but there's time to calm down there.

Thanks bigleggy, it was touch and go to start with. Meglet I think our game is far from over yet, I think you were my trickiest game first time around!
I’ve just been doing some YouTube watching of GothamChess and I’m humbled about how much I don’t know, but it’s fascinating stuff.
