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

 | | 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. |

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. |

 | | 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. ==============

 | | 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 |
