  SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> Welcome back! :-)
Mar-21-12  dakgootje: Happy new year bookie! :P

<Can't wait to see what <dakgootje> will use for round 4, AWESOMESTER>

I've got to fit in AWESOMISTIC as well somewhere.

  SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> Looks a bit like GM Granda was playing in a Spanish rapid tournament on the 17th and 18th...

http://www.chess-results.com/tnr676...

Somehow I doubt he was simultaneously playing slow games against Mecking on a different continent :)

Mar-21-12  technical draw: <dakgootje> I thought you were my friend. So how come you creeped into 3rd place when I wasn't looking?
Mar-21-12  dakgootje: to stand still is to move back ;)

Also, everything is permitted in love, war and the Chessbookie Championship Leg.

Mar-21-12  brankat: <SwitchingQuylthulg> <Somehow I doubt he was simultaneously playing slow games against Mecking on a different continent :)>

The match was actually a 15min/m correspondence event on GK. Four games simultaneously, and it's still in progress.

  Penguincw: Ugh. This is getting to be pretty frustrating. I lost 7 chessbucks. I'm on a freezing streak. :(
Mar-21-12  wordfunph: arghh! missed the semi-jackpot :(

<European Individual Ch Rd2: PICK THREE : Draw-White-White [info] 100 LIVE BET 65:1 66.06 6,606 Mar-21-12>

Mar-22-12  dakgootje: Why does the betting end earlier than previous rounds? The rounds themselves start at the same time as yesterday
Mar-22-12  LDJ: Won 500, thanks to Nyzhnyk :)
Unfortunately that also means that Giri lost :(

If you think about it, I'm not really quitting. Just taking a break.

Thanks. :)

Mar-22-12  TheFocus: <Penquincw> That's the spirit.

I didn't quit betting. Just took a long break.

228. TheFocus -3,702

I am biding my time until the next leg, then I'm changing my strategy. Cuz, frankly, the last one I had sucked big time!

Mar-23-12  dakgootje: Betting whoever's name was first in the alphabet?
Mar-23-12  LDJ: Another good day forme, had 125 on the DDW pick 3 and made a profit of 500 in total.
Mar-23-12  WinKing: Hey chessbookie have you heard anything on the Mecking-Zuniga match? If you look at the arbiter posting below I think it shows the match scheduled for May 2012 unless I am reading it wrong.

  SwitchingQuylthulg: <WinKing> See my post above :)

"May 2012" simply means the May 2012 rating list; the scheduled dates for the event were indeed March 15 to March 18. However, it appears the match never took place.

Mar-23-12  WinKing: Unless it means that the arbiter just hasn't received the results yet?

  SwitchingQuylthulg: <WinKing> Read my post above, OK? :)
Mar-23-12  WinKing: Hey <SwitchingQuylthulg> if you look at the Arbiter Records it says 'Date Received' - 'Not Submitted'. WTH does that mean lol. I am just baffled that there has been nothing about this match.
