Fair enough. It's not as though you can be penalised. Instead of 1/2-1/2, it'd be 0-0, which wouldn't make any difference to the match score.Richard Bates wrote:It's all about the team. Hopefully my suffering will not be in vain.Alex Holowczak wrote:
Nothing wrong with short draws though, is there Richard?
Thanks for making our task of inputting the game easier.
Jonathan Rogers, also of this parish, had a short draw, but even his was longer than yours!

Re: Live Final Weekend
Penalising people for accepting un-prearranged draw offers, simply because they were made on move 2 would be a bit controversial! Might need to put something in the rules firstAlex Holowczak wrote:Fair enough. It's not as though you can be penalised.

Well, there is that... Don't give the organisers ideas, or you'll be playing Sofia rules in 2010/11.Richard Bates wrote: Penalising people for accepting un-prearranged draw offers, simply because they were made on move 2 would be a bit controversial! Might need to put something in the rules first

Re: Live Final Weekend
They've been e-mailed to Mark Crowther, so should be on TWIC soon, if that helps you personally. I think Dave might have e-mailed you with them anyway? Could be wrong.John Saunders wrote:The PGN download links for the final weekend aren't working.
1c has been done for Round 11 (Mark has it), 1d will be finished on Wednesday (no chance I can get it done tomorrow due to a coursework deadline/league match). Jack had just completed Division 2 up to the end of Round 10 when we left.

Re: Live Final Weekend
So were there any phone losses this weekend? I had a look through some of the games and noticed one which was a very short win in a totally level position.
Lose one queen and it is a disaster, Lose 1000 queens and it is just a statistic.
