Diademas
Member since May-06-11
Greetings from Bergen, Norway.

I really suck at chess.

<Lying. It's what liars do. <Diademas> is a liar>
I make friends everywhere.

<Tedious spammer <diademas> needs [to] be humiliated and shamed publicly.>
-Another satisfied customer.

<Can you imagine if your thinking and reasoning was as poised and untrained as <Diademas'>?>
People know and love me.

<<Die-a-dumbass> You're the liar. [...] Not only an obnoxious idiot, but a liar at that!>
Famous last words.

<[...] and Diademas. These godless liberal mutherfvckers [...] hypocrite asswipes>
I am revered and respected in this community.

<Crooked (at)Diademas knows absolutely NO LIMITS. Sad!>
No good deed goes unpunished.

Premium Chessgames Member Messiah: <Diademas: So do we have a bet <Messiah>? 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.

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.

No criticism ment. Just a reminder, mostly to myself. 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.

As Mrs. Messiah does not exist (I had a ridiculously bad luck, on top of my double question mark personality), I cannot guarantee the same opportunity in remembering the husband. 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.

  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.

  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.

Dec-30-21  johnlspouge: Hi, <Diademas>.

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.

Fortunately, I get my vicarious thrills from you and <saffuna>.

Keep well,
John
