Moving quick brings a special set of problems. You would think that 15 minutes per player would be enough to easily make 10 opening moves, 20 middle game moves to gain an advantage and then clean up or win in the end game. Not so, BCC players miss one move tactics, become befuddled with complicated combinations and react either efficiently or terribly under pressure. Tonight we had a few illegal moves - warning only - and many a game won on time or by the surprising stroke of a one move #. David threatened to give up and never come back, Dylan played on a Q down wishing for stalemate, Phil moved into check, Nigel called and illegal move on me which wasn't but it took a while to check, post match could have beens were loudly defended. Geronimo jumps off the chess cliff - why do players resort to such ordinary chess in Allegro? My one win tonight beating Vincent convincinlgy aftre some ordinary other games.
The leaders are Nigel 4.5/5, Vincent 4/5.
