 | | chessgames.com: OK folks, all bets have been settled including the surprise come-from-behind victory by Anish Giri that paid off at 10:1 odds. We'll recompute the leaderboard in just a minute and see who the winners are. |

Jan-06-12
| | Penguincw: It's WinKing! |
|
Jan-06-12
 | | Chnebelgrind: congratulation <WinKing> Good coup. You live up to your name! |
|
Jan-06-12
 | | moronovich: Congratulations <WinKing> !
And to mate <Chenebelgrind> who is dangerous down to the last buck ;)and almost made it. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | SloVice: Nice work <WinKing>! Cinderella story. Outta nowhere. A former competitive chess player, now, about to become the Chessgames Bookie champion. It looks like a mirac...1-0! |
|
Jan-06-12
| | chessgames.com: Wow that was one close contest!

Later we will post a list of all who have qualified for the championship leg, which means they were in the top-10 in one of the previous 4 legs (including last year's championship). These users will start the Championship leg with 10,000 chessbucks; all others get the usual 1000. The new leg will start in a few days. Good luck! |

Jan-06-12
| | Penguincw: Is Tata going to be the first tournament? And don't forget Pick 3! |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | technical draw: And <Dr. Strangemove> lands the 10th spot by 2 chessbucks! |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | TheFocus: Congrats to the Top 10!
Good betting, y'all. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | WinKing: Thanks guys!!! I'd like to say it was skill that put me on top but not so...just pure luck. My big strategy was place money on the white pieces. I put 500 chessbucks on all players with white. Also played 500 on white-white-white & **100 on draw-white-white** which is the play that netted me **$6,754**. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | technical draw: Amazing, the bookie doesn't have to change <Pyke>'s net worth for the championship leg. He is at exactly 10,000.... |
|
Jan-06-12
| | Penguincw: What I find somewhat annoying is that there are like 20 users a leg ending with 800 flat. They must've started at 1000 (like normal) and bet the max. on a ticket that ended up losing. After realizing so, they just give up. Weird... |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | wordfunph: <WinKing> coming from #20 before the last round and crowned as 2011 Fall Leg Champion whewwww! hats off and congratulations to <WinKing> and all the winners! cheers! thanks to my fellow players and to <CGBookie> for providing us a terrific contest. see you all in the Championship.. |
|
| Jan-06-12 | | technical draw: Right <wordfunph>, like they say , it ain't over til it's over! |
|
Jan-07-12
 | | eternaloptimist: Congrats to <WinKing> for winning the fall leg & to everybody else who finished this leg in the top 10! Great job guys! |
