Angus Clydesdale Mar 2022 3:38pm, 11 Mar 2022 24,499 posts	Quote Pin Angus Clydesdale Was kicking myself for forgetting my checkmate set up and greedily pocketing a piece I didn’t need. Took me 3 more goes to navigate back into position, all the while fearing I would be rumbled!

jda Mar 2022 4:01pm, 11 Mar 2022 12,150 posts	Quote Pin jda Well done Angus. There are still 3 games going in the first round of the chess.com competition that started early Jan! All playing slowly, 2 are Q and rook pawn endgames, the 3rd is some poor sod who can't win QvN. None of them are trivial and probably the sort of thing most people hardly ever see in a lifetime of chess. So any one of those could easily last another month or three if they set their minds to it.... chess.com

JulesR Mar 2022 5:00pm, 11 Mar 2022 28,200 posts	Quote Pin JulesR Scrolling through the 1st page of chess.com pairings, every group is won by a 2300, usually titled. Except where the 2300 got banned and a 1200 went through. I recognised a few of them as very top players in my other clubs. Your 2nd round could be a bit tougher James!
bish Mar 2022 6:10pm, 11 Mar 2022 318 posts	Quote Pin bish I’m through to the second round of the chess.com tournament as well. I don’t think I’ve ever played a titled player so if I’m going to get knocked out anyway I’m more than happy to draw the GM!
jda Mar 2022 7:50pm, 11 Mar 2022 12,151 posts	Quote Pin jda I'm looking forward to the avalanche of tough 24h games. I don't think all groups had a strong player, mine certainly didn't! in fact it looks like the earlier numbered groups were the strongest few. Pages 5 onwards are more mortal. Though I'm sure it will be hard work regardless.
