  SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> Looks a bit like GM Granda was playing in a Spanish rapid tournament on the 17th and 18th...

Somehow I doubt he was simultaneously playing slow games against Mecking on a different continent :)

  technical draw: <dakgootje> I thought you were my friend. So how come you creeped into 3rd place when I wasn't looking?

Also, everything is permitted in love, war and the Chessbookie Championship Leg.

The match was actually a 15min/m correspondence event on GK. Four games simultaneously, and it's still in progress.

Mar-21-12  Penguincw: Ugh. This is getting to be pretty frustrating. I lost 7 chessbucks. I'm on a freezing streak. :(
Mar-21-12  wordfunph: arghh! missed the semi-jackpot :(

  dakgootje: Why does the betting end earlier than previous rounds? The rounds themselves start at the same time as yesterday
Mar-22-12  LDJ: Won 500, thanks to Nyzhnyk :)
Unfortunately that also means that Giri lost :(
Mar-22-12  Penguincw: Welcome back <Bookie>. :)

  dakgootje: Indeed - it was a cruel day yesterday :P
Mar-22-12  Penguincw: Lost some more chessbucks. I had 2,111 chessbucks finishing Tata, and now look at me. I'm not going to bet on Round 4 (or tomorrow, whichever comes first). :)
Mar-22-12  wordfunph: quitters are losers and that's the reason i keep on smoking.

fight <Peng>!

Mar-22-12  Penguincw: < wordfunph: quitters are losers and that's the reason i keep on smoking. fight <Peng>! >

If you think about it, I'm not really quitting. Just taking a break.

Thanks. :)

  TheFocus: <Penquincw> That's the spirit.

I didn't quit betting. Just took a long break.

228. TheFocus -3,702

I am biding my time until the next leg, then I'm changing my strategy. Cuz, frankly, the last one I had sucked big time!

  WinKing: Hey chessbookie have you heard anything on the Mecking-Zuniga match? If you look at the arbiter posting below I think it shows the match scheduled for May 2012 unless I am reading it wrong.

  SwitchingQuylthulg: <WinKing> See my post above :)

"May 2012" simply means the May 2012 rating list; the scheduled dates for the event were indeed March 15 to March 18. However, it appears the match never took place.

  WinKing: Hey <SwitchingQuylthulg> if you look at the Arbiter Records it says 'Date Received' - 'Not Submitted'. WTH does that mean lol. I am just baffled that there has been nothing about this match.
