  moronovich: <wordfunph> I think it was you who started and we should all pay respect to the loanshark.
Feb-20-10  wordfunph: <moronovich> i need to get out of the Negative Club, i'm tired of staying at the basement. Could you lend me $2,000? :-)

  Chnebelgrind: I can't reconstruct my motivation for setting 49 cb on Topalovs 1.Nf3. Anyway - it brought me a nice benefit ;-)

  Chnebelgrind: <moronovich> +14100!

Exactly that amount you could realize with a wager of 1000 chessbucks on white-draw-draw and another of 1200 chessbucks on Grischuk

did I run it?

  moronovich: <Chnebelgrind> Interesting handle BTW !?

Close , but not close enough ;)

5.500 on Grischuk + 1500 on Topa+ 1000 on pick 3 and 500 on Vallejo. I was almost shure Gris would go "all in"(actually a strong pokerplayer) and trying to establish a stable advantage, combined with Topa has played rather flamboyant at times.And still could run into not showing his best before Anand coming up.So..... And a most satisfying experience it was.But it aint over yet,as you should be the first to know ; And maybe we could exchange strategical ideas when it is all over !?..

  Chnebelgrind: <maybe we could exchange strategical ideas when it is all over>

I propose that the present leader has to lay open his strategies. In this regard <sneaky> is (was?!) exemplary (see his advices at page 126 in Jun-24-08 Chessgames Bookie chessforum)

<I frequently during the 80ies paid your country a visit> Did you also place your money here? :-)
