< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 243 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-14-12    brankat: No, it's the day when they'll pay out for today's bets :-) Lately, not only the payoffs were late, but, even worse, the wagers ere posted only a couple, three hours before the start time. So there was often not enough time to build up the pools to be able to bet bigger amounts of money. Every 20, or so, bucks bet, would ruin the odds. Mar-14-12    brankat: <Chessgames Bookie> Other than the wagering on <Mecking-Granda Zuniga> match (20 hours to go at the moment), will there be any other events available in this Championship leg? Thank You. Mar-14-12    cro777: A preview (in Russian) of Alexander Shashin's book "Best Play: Revolutionary Method for Finding the Strongest Move" can be found here. http://www.chesspro.ru/_events/2012... In an excerpt from the book Shashin describes one of the move-choice algorithms, the so-called "Tal" algorithm. As an illustration he uses the famous game Tal - Tolush (the USSR Championship, Leningrad 1956). This is the starting position for analysis: 1.e4 c5 2.Nf3 d6 3.d4 cxd4 4.Nxd4 Nf6 5.Nc3 a6 6.Bg5 e6 7.f4 Qb6 8.Qd2 Qxb2 9.Rb1 Qa3 10.e5 dxe5 11.fxe5 Nfd7 12.Ne4 Qxa2 13.Rb3 Qa1+ 14.Kf2 Qa4 click for larger view Intuitively sensing that the position demands a sacrifice, Tal played here <15.Bb5!?>. Soon afterwards they found <15.Nxe6!> as the strongest move in this position. Using his method for finding the strongest move in any position, Shashin explains how to find moves such as 15.Nxe6 or 15.Bb5. He also refers to the book "Garry Kasparov on My Great Predecessors, Part 2". Kasparov thoroughly analysed the game Tal -Tolush as well. Mar-14-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: <cro777> I'm afraid this is the Bookie forum, not the book forum :-) Mar-14-12    wordfunph: <cro777> you went astray and entered the wrong forum, this is <ChessgamesBookie> and not <ChessBookForum> ahehe! welcome to <ChessBookie>! :) Mar-14-12    4tmac: 100 Bucks on ♘xP!

Thanks and good luck in placing your bets. Please delete my post here. Mar-14-12    brankat: The Bookie must still be asleep. Since about Christmas. Mar-14-12    Penguincw: Maybe he retired. I should do the same too. :) Mar-14-12    dakgootje: Who wouldn't retire - with the amount Bookie made off the juice? Mar-14-12    moronovich: 10.000 §§ on a tie in Lasker vs Schlecter! Mar-14-12    brankat: c$10,000 Lasker wins the last game of the match!

Go Henrique ! Mar-15-12    wordfunph: yup <GE>, the making of King Mecking! (whisper with a wink...) hoping that this will stir the ego of #1 <Switch> and his horde of leaderboard followers to pour their bet on <Granda> and <Tie> hohoho! :-) Mar-15-12    brankat: <wordfunph> On the contrary! Thanks to Your guys betting on H.Mecking, the odds on Granda are unexpectedly "high". Thank You kindly :-) Mar-15-12    SloVice: Maybe a little flattery will help: Oh <Bookie> You're so fine.
