Chessgames Bookie: Thanks for the tip, WinKing. Hope it works because, to tell you the truth, I'm feeling a bit frustrated. ciao, jingo

Chessgames Bookie: It would be great if we could get the Bookie site set up to start the new leg with the TATA Steel tournament about to begin in a week. Thanks

   Dec-26-20 Sargon chessforum

Chessgames Bookie: Sargon, Could we get an adminstrator to close out the Fall Leg of the Chessbookie? Prizes and reset all to $1000, or more if we're not going to get a mid-leg payday? Thanks, jingo Gens una sumus!

Chessgames Bookie: Hi moronovich, I'm jingohanson, the new Bookie. The Pick two is for day four of the event, with the games I posted. Sorry about the confusion. I should have put (Day 4) in the description. Thanks for welcoming me. Your suggestions are welcome. Ciao, jingohanson

Dec-07-12		moronovich: <The17thPawn> Nice handle !

Dec-09-12		Chessgames Bookie: Carlsen has effectively broken Kasparov's record (even if he loses to Anand tomorrow), so the only thing left is for FIDE to announce in on January 1st. With that in mind we paid off the wager.

Dec-09-12		redribbon3700: Dear Chessgames Bookie, Does the Fall Leg end after the London Chess Classic?

Dec-10-12		moronovich: Same question here !

Dec-10-12		SwitchingQuylthulg: <redribbon3700> <moronovich> No, still a couple of weeks left :)

Dec-10-12		moronovich: Thanks <Switch> and good luck for todays betting ! (I am on pause and enjoying my comeback ;)

Dec-10-12		dakgootje: I did try some comebacking yesterday - but it was fairly clear my timing wasn't perfect and I should come back another time. Which I found very unsympathetic.

Dec-14-12		brankat: <Chessgames Bookie> It would appear that the round #5 games of the "Snowdrops vs Old-Hands" tournament have not even been played yet. So then, why are the tickets to be discarded? Tomorrow, Dec-14, round 5 is on, not round 6, as posted on the betting page.

Dec-14-12		Chessgames Bookie: <brankat> I'm sorry, did I pay something off wrong? Please note that I've been going here for results http://www.praguechess.cz/poradane-... which is usually updated long before the page at Chessgames gets its games updated.

Dec-21-12		Chessgames Bookie: New tournament starting in New Delhi: http://live.indianchessfed.com/pair... This should take us to the end of the year at which point we'll close the leg and announce the winners. Good luck!

Dec-22-12		Chessgames Bookie: My apologies for naming GM Negi as "Parimarjan". (We're not really on a first name basis, I just got confused.) The bet was unambiguous so all wagers stand. Those of you in desperate need of a last-minute boost, don't forget to check out the AICF AAI Cup rd 3: PICK THREE.

Dec-22-12		Annie K.: <We're not really on a first name basis, I just got confused.> Heh! I wouldn't worry about it. Chessdom recently used first names in its relay of the live games of some tournament, including "Vishy". :D

Dec-24-12		brankat: Best wishes for the Holiday season Bookie! You have done a great job. Thank You!

Dec-24-12		moronovich: Merry Christmas <bookie> and thanks for your effort.

Dec-24-12		wordfunph: <Chessgames Bookie> Merry Christmas! ... and to <Loanshark> thank you :)

Dec-25-12		SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> Merry Christmas!

Dec-25-12		Stonehenge: <Bookie> I just made four losing bets :) I thought you were closed man!

Dec-28-12		SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> You've mispaid the round 7 pick three. The winning ticket should be <White-White-Draw>, rather than White-White-Black :)

Dec-29-12		SwitchingQuylthulg: Plus, round 10 bets seem to be closing two hours late...

Dec-29-12		Chessgames Bookie: Terribly sorry about that pick three, we're going to rectify it momentarily.

Dec-30-12		SwitchingQuylthulg: <Bookie> Thanks :)
