< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 240 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-22-12    chessgames.com: A few things here: First, some old errata, am I to understand that people STILL haven't been paid off correctly for Aeroflot Open Rd3: PICK THREE? We tried to fix that, in fact you can see the official winner has been switched, but possibly there was a problem in how losing tickets were converted into winners. If somebody is having problems we'll happily look into it. As I recall there were only a handful of winners here so in the worst case it's no big deal to review every person effected one by one. Next question, are there any <bets> on the horizon? I keep learning about relatively minor events like the ACP Women's Cup and the Chebanenko Memorial, only after they've begun or even finished. If anybody sees a good event that's coming up soon please let me know and I'll be happy to put some wagers up. Feb-22-12    Penguincw: <Events> All I see is the Polish Championship, currently in Round 5 of 9. http://mp2012.pzszach.pl/node/16 The only problem is that I can't find the pairings. Hopefully someone can find it, or at least speak Polish. :) Feb-22-12    Penguincw: Oops. I forgot to mention. In less than two weeks, the Reykjavik Open begins. You can at least do one for winner. Caruana and Navara will participate. http://skaksamband.is/?c=webpage&id... Feb-23-12    dakgootje: to quote 2700chess: 1. The 2nd HD Bank Cup, Hanoi (Vietnam), 2 March - 7 March 2012, Web (9) [Le Quang Liem] 2. Reykjavik Open 2012, Reykjavik (Iceland), 6 March - 13 March 2012, Web (9) [Caruana, Navara] 3. European Individual Chess Championship 2012, Plovdiv (Bulgaria), 19 March - 1 April 2012, Web (9) [A lot of 2700+ players] Feb-23-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: <chessgames.com: A few things here: First, some old errata, am I to understand that people STILL haven't been paid off correctly for Aeroflot Open Rd3: PICK THREE> No, you paid that off correctly in the end :) <Penguincw> was just saying it only happened when the matter was brought up in the Member Support Forum. Feb-23-12    Chnebelgrind: <chessgames.com: are there any <bets> on the horizon?> Polish championship round 6 starts USA/Eastern time Feb 23 09:00:00 pairings http://www.chessarbiter.com/turniej... at the top of the page you can change to the pairings of other rounds with <[Strona g³ówna] [<<..>>]> rd 7 24.02.2012 USA/Eastern time 09:00:00 rd 8 25.02.2012 USA/Eastern time 09:00:00 rd 9 26.02.2012 USA/Eastern time 03:00:00 Feb-23-12    Chnebelgrind: pairings rd 7 are known http://www.chessarbiter.com/turniej... Feb-24-12    chessgames.com: We put up some bets for the Polish Championship. We're going to hold off a few days with the Reykjavik Open just in case some more big names register to play. Feb-24-12    Penguincw: Thanks for the events! Feb-25-12    wordfunph: <chessgames.com> muchas gracias.. Feb-25-12    Penguincw: The bets currently close in 2 minutes. It's 9:00 EST right now. So it's closed at 9:02? Feb-25-12    wordfunph: Polish Championship live games link please? Feb-25-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: <wordfunph> Try http://mp2012.pzszach.pl/node/7 FICS is also relaying the games as usual :-) <Penguincw> Bookie's clock is probably slow again... at least this time there weren't any bets on openings :) Feb-25-12    wordfunph: <Switch> thank you. go 3 Draws! :) Feb-25-12    wordfunph: Wojtaszek - Macieja after 34.Rxe6 click for larger view 34...Qc5?? goodnight :( Feb-25-12    dakgootje: That game has some transmission errors. Either that - or both have turned into <1000 elo patzers. Feb-25-12    SwitchingQuylthulg: <dakkie> <wordfunph> Fixed now :) Feb-25-12    Penguincw: Looks like I'm going to have a bad round. Feb-25-12    Penguincw: Yep. I am right, so far. Socko-Miton drawn. Feb-25-12    Penguincw: It's official. I lose at least 87. I regret not looking at the standings first. :( Feb-25-12    dakgootje: New objective: bridge the gap to <TD> ;) Roughly 6.1k difference at moment of writing - but that should decrease after this round has been paid out :) Feb-25-12    chessgames.com: Is round 9 the final round, and if so, does it start earlier than the others? We put a cutoff at 6:00am EST until we learn otherwise. Feb-25-12    dakgootje: Round 9 is the final round indeed. It starts 6 hours earlier, don't really know what that is in EST. Former rounds are given to have started at 3pm; round-9 starts at 9am. Suppose both are gmt+1 which would make it.. something like 3am EST? Feb-25-12    Penguincw: Yep it's the final round, as noted on http://www.2700chess.com/. Also, I believe it does start at 3am. I can tell you that. We don't want a repeat of WWTC. :) Feb-25-12    wordfunph: wowww 3 draws! happy Sunday to all..
