Apr-01-12		wordfunph: congratulations and cheers to 6th Bookie World Champion <SwitchingQuylthulg> of Finland! and.. (2) dakgootje 35,356 (3) ChessWriter 23,459 (4) technical draw 21,432 (5) SloVice 15,011 (6) Robin01 13,000 (7) Barok Espinosa 12,922 (8) 4tmac 12,777 (9) moulicules 12,063 (10) ddaniell 11,145 thanks to <all others> who made this bookie thrilling and wonderful, my special appreciation to <Chessgames Bookie> for bringing smiles (everytime we collect our chessbucks hehe!) and to all my fellow bookie players, gracias amigos! hurrah Chessgames Bookie!

Apr-01-12		SwitchingQuylthulg: Liked this leg :) Thanks to <chessgames.com> and <Bookie> (and <Barok Espinosa>, <SloVice>, <voratco> and <TD>!), congrats to the top 10 and good luck everybody for the Spring leg!

Apr-01-12		SwitchingQuylthulg: And thanks to Lady Luck and the cellar-dwellers ;-)

Apr-01-12		Chnebelgrind: <SwitchingQuylthulg> deserved world champion and best chessbookie game player ever! Congratulations!

Apr-01-12		dakgootje: Thanks for a very enjoyable leg chessbookie :) And a nice result of course! Took my chances to overtake SQ, but I was never really close [in the last 10 rounds at least ;] - so I'm quite satisfied with Silver :) Now I just need the contact information of Lady Luck for next year..

Apr-01-12		technical draw: Hey, I won a one year premium membership. I didn't know there were prizes for a top ten finish. Gotta read them rules! Congrats to all.

Apr-01-12		dakgootje: and to qualify for next year is a nice bonus as well :)

Apr-01-12		LDJ: <SwitchingQuylthulg> Congratulations! I finished on 967 chessbucks...

Apr-01-12		technical draw: An interesting thing: Of the leg winners <leoloren> didn't play much, and <wallytherhino> and <winking> crashed. Which means winning a leg doesn't guarantee good playing in the championship leg. Also <Barok Espinosa> starting with 1,000 made the top ten. I guess this really is a gambling game.

Apr-01-12		dakgootje: ..what to do with the time when there are no chessgames to bet on..

Apr-01-12		technical draw: <what to do with the time when there are no chessgames to bet on..> I have a novel idea. How about playing chess?

Apr-01-12		dakgootje: hehe you are silly sometimes ;)

Apr-01-12		SwitchingQuylthulg: We can bet on <TD>'s games :-)

Apr-01-12		technical draw: Good idea <switch>. Hey bookie, check out my games on GameKnot and set up betting boards!

Apr-01-12		Sneaky: Good work <Switching> ... looking over past legs there's no doubt you deserve to have your icon immortalized. Believe me, I know what it's like to be ever the bridesmaid and never the bride. :)

Apr-03-12		eternaloptimist: <Switch> Congrats on winning the bookie world championship!! U definitely deserved it! Great job on breaking the record for the most chess$ of all time!! Also congrats to the rest of the guys that finished in the top 10!!

Apr-03-12		technical draw: I'm number 23-25!!

Apr-03-12		SloVice: <Chessgames Bookie>Thank you for the subscription! Much obliged. <wordfunph> Thanks for the list. However you have me on the list twice: #32-33 (correct) and #49 (just forgot to delete I think). I need to try to get myself into the winner's circle one of these days. Maybe <SwitchingQuylthulg> will take a few legs off and give the rest of us a chance. ;)

Apr-03-12		technical draw: Cool, if I win the next leg I could go from 23-25 to 10-11. Of course there are a lot variables so that's just a simple calculation.

Apr-03-12		dakgootje: Made quite big jump in the overall rankings, and can make another substantial one by winning next leg. But regardless of what I do next leg - I'll only be a pawn in the all-time top-10 ranking :( Of course, I did gain a rank in the pawn-hierarchy :)
