Some of the best of our games this season our posted below. Great job guys (and gals)! Keep up the good work!
TheRejoicingMightyPawns
Tharderer-Gorgonian-Introspection-CharityJoy- (littlesparrows)
Team Average: 1538.25
4 match points, 15.5 game points
A warm welcome to Introspection! We were delighted to have him join the Rejoicing Team for T51!
Two of Introspection's great games:
Both Gorgonian and Introspection finished with 4.5 out of 6. Here are two of Gorgonian's wins
A nicely done game by CharityJoy:
An awesome checkmate by Tharderer with over half the pieces still on the board:
Tharderer really had his team-mates worried here, but he came through with a nice victory:
TheMightyPawns just barely missed the playoffs which was a bit disappointing, but came in a close 3rd (with actually more game points than the 2nd place team). Performance Rating: Awesome! You guys had no forfeits and great team-work.
TheRejoicingVaqueros
professorzz-BethanyGrace-silencehunter-timisrejoicing-LordTyraad
Team Average: 1582.25
Match Points: 3.5 Game points: 13.5
We were very glad to have professorzz join us! Welcome to TheRejoicingTeam, professor!
TheRejoicingBishops
Breloczek-Capris-bowserjrzhu-RoyRogersC
Team Average:
Match Points: 2.5 Game points: 13
Welcome to Breloczek, Capris, and bowserjrzhu! TheRejoicingBishops was made up of 75% new Rejoicing players, and of course our old speedy reliable, RoyRogersC. They were are highest rated team and finished 3rd in their section--a very good result for new players which portends destruction for their future opponents and great things for them in Team League!
Breloczek did an amazing job, not losing a single game. Here's a nice endgame against pchesso:
A nice (and quick) endgame by Roy:
Finally... *drum-roll*
TheRejoicingChessmen
CNoble-kballoloco-CactusJr-Krimi-LordTyraad
Match points: 4 Game points: 13
Team Average: 1636
TheRejoicingChessmen (obviously) had some great play.
Here's a game by CactusJr, who last season was 3rd in top-player honors (I can't wait till after the playoffs to calculate the honors for this season!)
Below is kballoloco's victory against twotowers (both his and my captain @ AllGoodPeople). Congratulations also to kballoloco for going on to the playoffs with not just one, but both of his teams, TheRejoicingChessmen and AllGoodPeople_B! You're certainly an asset for any team.
This game by CNoble was a pleasure to watch:
And...LordTyraad filled board 4 for two rounds and scored a nice win.
last but not least... an effecient victory by Krimi:
Keep up the great work!! I believe our teams have improved very much over the past 2 or 3 seasons, and we can only believe T52 will be even better. But for now, let's cheer for TheRejoicingChessmen as they go on to the playoffs. Go team!
