Lichess4545 Ledger 124

Lichess4545 Ledger

Issue #124 - January 31 2020

 

Just before the 20th season start, let's look at the survey result of the previous one:


More than 80% of the people didn't want any change in those 4 different subjects about the league: the size of the teams and the league. The length of one season and if the league should be split up.

And finally the best team name contest:

  1. The London system and other reasons your parents don't love you (17.6%)
  2. Team Names Don't Matter When You Win (13.7%)
  3. Alapin Your Face (7.6%)

 

 

 

The fantasy league for Season 19 had 28 real participants and every one of them did better than the "bot teams" by cheapskate and profligate. Thanks to all for playing and congrats to the winners:
:first_place_medal:Kvltvr_Wvltvr : 90-Day Fianchetto
:second_place_medal:erinyu : I just copied SP's team
:third_place_medal:Isachess : 1 bad week

If this season proved anything - its that there is no "simple" strategy that can guarantee that you will do well. The highest and lowest cost teams came in last so price/ ratings alone is a poor predictor of performance. Also, copying SP's team could go either way as well - you either get a medal or end up at the bottom of the standings! For the first time in fantasy league history, participants also had the option to name their fantasy teams and "@chesster summon set my players available all weeks please!" was voted as the best fantasy team name.

Every month, the Lichess4545 league asks a board 1 player to host a simultaneous exhibition for those willing to play. This month, it was me.
These are my annotations. Hope you enjoy!
