< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 159 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Jun-29-09    Chessgames Bookie: ♖ SUMMERTIME GAMBLING ♖ For those who haven't noticed, the Summer Leg has begun. We have betting on Umansky's next move Umansky vs The World: 28. ? as well as Dortmund: WINNER. Dortmund is very well organized this year and the pairings are already up for the entire event. Therefore we will be putting up round-by-round betting soon for this exciting contest. Good luck! Jun-30-09    SloVice: Congratulations <SwitchingQuylthulg>!! Astounding performance. You're a 3-time winner now! <cg> <Therefore it's not uncommon to see players like yourself, already qualified, play with an "all or nothing" attitude during the Summer and Fall legs.> Since my immediate goal of finishing in the top 10 has been accomplished, this indeed is the plan this leg. I hope to figure out how <SwitchingQuylthulg> racks up so many chessbucks by the time winter leg rolls around. Jun-30-09    acirce: Hey. I know Michael Jackson's death is traumatic, but it's not "Jackovenko"... Jun-30-09    technical draw: I'm tied for first place. Take a good look. It will be the last time. Jul-02-09    Whitehat1963: <Chessbookie>, How about a "most moves for the tournament" bet for Dortmund? Jul-02-09    SloVice: Whoa... it's not looking so good for the first round of Dortmund. Looks like my stint at the top of the list will be short-lived. Help me <Switchy-Wan-Kenobi>, you're my only hope. ;) Jul-02-09    Chessgames Bookie: <Whitehat1963> Your suggestion is a good one, but we could not put up the bet in time. Look for that proposition in future tournaments. Jul-03-09    refutor: <chessbookie> how about number of decisive games in a round? would be better for a tournament with more players but could work for a small tournament like dortmund as well... Jul-04-09    malthrope: <Chessgames Bookie: ♖ SUMMERTIME GAMBLING ♖ Dortmund is very well organized this year and the pairings are already up for the entire event. Therefore we will be putting up round-by-round betting soon for this exciting contest.> The Dortmunder organizers usually have the pairings done and posted a full month before the event starts. :) The German arbiters take their organizational duties very seriously! ~lol~ Anyway, thanks for getting the tourney up quickly (links and bets). The next big Chess event will be the Donostia Chess Festival in San Sebastian (July 6th-16th). I'll post the info shortly on the <CG.com> forum and you can view details now in my Profile. Thanks again <ChessBookie> :^) - Mal PS: Re: <Whitehat1963: <Chessbookie>, How about a "most moves for the tournament" bet for Dortmund?> Indeed! The possibilities are truly endless -- Most wins with White, Black, Best first half/second half, etc. Just depends on how much energy you want to devote to feeding our addiction! :D PPS: I see <SwitchingQuylthulg> has made his appearance on the Leaderboard... As fear now strikes the other 164 betting contestants! :P Jul-04-09    DCP23: <Whitehat1963: <Chessbookie>, How about a "most moves for the tournament" bet for Dortmund?> Jakovenko, no doubt. Jul-05-09    Sneaky: "7Knights" and "Where is my mind" have 4000 and nobody else even has 2000. Crazy! Methinks some people got lucky with the pick three. Jul-05-09    Chessgames Bookie: <refutor> We'll implement your suggestion in the upcoming Donostia-San Sebastian tournament. We have opened the betting on that event: Donostia-San Sebastian: Winner Jul-06-09    bharatiy: in last leg I was betting against majority and won for some part and initially was in top 5 but ended in negative. This time have decided to play along the majority and am in top 5 now. Sounds similar to me, just be reversing strategy. Hope this time I can hold on. This time I am betting only half of my funds.... too conservative............???? Jul-06-09    WannaBe: Lost every single bet today... =( Jul-06-09    malthrope: <ChessBookie> Re: Donostia Chess Festival (2009) The full pairings list (Rounds 1-9) is now posted: http://www.donostiachess.com/en/res... ;) - Mal Jul-09-09    Chessgames Bookie: Betting has commenced on the winner of the Canadian Open Tournament: Canadian Open: Winner Jul-09-09    DCP23: <Chessgames Bookie> That was rather premature to settle this round of San Sebastian. Two games, V-L - Karpov and Pono - Granda, apparently have different results from what the official transmission shows. White has probably won in both. You may want to wait till confirmation appears here: http://www.donostiachess.com/en/res... before paying out the bets on these two games. Jul-09-09    DCP23: Come to think of it, this also affects the How Many Draws bet. Jul-09-09    DCP23: Ok, here's the official confirmation: http://www.donostiachess.com/en/200... Jul-09-09    DCP23: TWIC has finally corrected the results too. http://www.chesscenter.com/twic/twi... Come on, I want my money! :) Jul-10-09    pulsar: <CG Bookie> There will be readjustments on winnings based on the erroneous results for Donostia, right? Jul-10-09    DCP23: <Chessgames Bookie> Don't forget Pono - Granda too. It was a White win. Jul-10-09    Chessgames Bookie: The Ponomariov-Granda Zuniga, Vachier-Lagrave - Karpov, and "How many draws", bets from the 3rd round of Donostia are now correctly paid off. Jul-11-09    pulsar: <CG Bookie> Thank you. Jul-12-09    technical draw: Sneaky, malthrope, NakoSonorense and technical draw. The four amigos, always in the cellar. Why can't I win AT LEAST ONCE??
