Pay up date December 31 or at the end of the Championship.> Yes, of course, deal. <Your membership expires on Jan-02-2024> I am not certain that you will be able to extend mine, if I win, but anyway, I'm OK with it. Just please remind me if and when I have to lose my precious money because of this (hopefully suicidal) bet. Jan-22-21 Premium Chessgames Member delete Diademas: Ok. You're on <Messiah>.>> Magnus Carlsen (kibitz #86220) Jan-22-21    Messiah: <Diademas: For future reference. [...]> I'm not an untrustworthy jerk. If I lose and I'm still alive when the WC cycle ends this year (and I am not banned, but I think I can do it even in this sometimes favourable case), you will get the premium membership extension. OK, if in prison, I'll be forced to break the deal. Fortunately, I am not a criminal. Jan-22-21    Diademas: < Messiah: <Diademas: For future reference. [...]> I'm not an untrustworthy jerk.

As you see above (Diademas chessforum (kibitz #267)) I have other bets and with the same procedure. I'm not going to show up at your funeral to collect, but I would appreciate it if you showed up in mine. Mrs Diademas would certainly know how to cherish the comic relief.

But as I am 33, I might have plenty of years to destroy my freedom in chaining myself to an even worse chess player in eternal love. The seller girl in the nearby grocery is at least 2760 in being beautiful, so wild ideas might appear. Jan-22-21    Diademas: I have instructed Mrs. Diademas to pay up if you should turn up. She has also promised catering and an open bar. Both you and the grocery girl are welcome. Jun-03-21    Messiah: I am increasingly anxious that I will lose the bet. Jun-03-21    Diademas: Worse things has happened Nov-22-21    OhioChessFan: ***Moves Prediction Contest Is Back!!!*** A message from The Legendary <chessmoron> =========== Hey <friends> What better way to have a prediction contest than a <World Championship>. Get you prediction hat on, and let's PREDICT! The drawing of colors will be available on Nov 24th (Opening Ceremony). All predictions must be posted on User: OhioChessFan before NOV 26th, 2021 at 7:30AM Eastern time. Since there's 14 games total, predict as many games as you think the winner will need to score 7.5 points, the number needed to win the match. Then predict the number of moves each game you think will be played. Be warned, if a game is not played and you predicted a game result, you will lose 3 points. ie. If game 14 is not played and you predict a game 14, you lose 3 points." Posting format: G1: Nepomniachtchi-Carlsen (1-0, 1/2, or 0-1) (# of moves played) G2: Carlsen-Nepomniachtchi (1-0, 1/2, or 0-1) (# of moves played) 3. Only Moves+Bonus Ranker (See OhioChessFan chessforum 's profile on what that is about) will be used to medal. 4. I will post results after game 4, game 8, game 12, and game 14. ============== Click on Elvis for details Nov-26-21    Messiah: I'm into you with a one-year premium membership, congratulations! Most probably during the weekend I'll find time to fulflil it. Nov-26-21    Diademas: It's not over yet. Stick to your guns and pray for a miracle. Remember the terms: <Will there be a FIDE sanctioned World Championship between Magnus Carlsen and a Challenger ended before December 31 2021> Dec-09-21    Diademas: But now I hear the fat lady is warming up... Dec-09-21    moronovich: Dubye Nepo. She will sing. Måske : "Ja,vi elsker dette landet" !? Dec-10-21    Messiah: <Diademas: But now I hear the fat lady is warming up...> Done, please notify me if it wasn't successful. Dec-25-21    keypusher: Merry Christmas, Diademas. And good luck with your mom. Mine is here with us, feeble in body but still of sound mind, thank God. Dec-26-21    chancho: Thanks <Diademas>. God jul! Dec-26-21    moronovich: God morgen <Diademas> ! Du ønskes en rigtig glædelig Jul og jeg håber du nyder det hele.Pindekød og måske godt selskab med familien !? Her nord for Århus er der den fineste stemning og helt coronafrit.Fruen skal læse en af hendes julegaver, en krimi, og jeg tager en tur med NRK1 til Polen og ser om magiske Magnus stadig kan huske hvordan brikkerne skal flyttes ;) Med ønsket om et godt, og måske bedre Nyt År !

Dec-26-21    technical draw: <Diademas> I still have 25 days, hehe! Dec-26-21    Diademas: More than that. I think we agreed to two years, so 1 year and 25 days. Dec-26-21    Diademas: <Jan-09-21 Premium Chessgames Member technical draw: Ok, I'm betting another Premium Membership. I bet that Biden doesn't last 2 years as president. Any takers?

I hope it's not too late to wish you and yours a Happy New Year! You probably don't want me to spoil the perfect record in your profile, but sometimes I find myself wishing that I had a sharper sense of humour.
