< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 357 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Aug-27-15    MarkFinan: You said you were going to crush me like a bug!! #TeamSyd Aug-27-15    Penguincw: Are you kidding me?! I was going to have bets for the Abu Dhabi tournament, since there's a Rest Day tomorrow at Sinquefield. However, that tournament is <also> having a Rest Day tomorrow. :| Of course, this Rest Day is necessary since on Tuesday, there were 2 games played in the same round (so pointless). I'll have to go to Plan B then. Aug-27-15    FSR: I <am> crushing you like a bug, Mark: <3. FSR 7,281 ... 186. MarkFinan 496> btw, have you and Syd set a wedding date yet? Your devotion to each other is really touching. Aug-27-15    MarkFinan: <FSR: I <am> crushing you like a bug, Mark> Errrmm. When did you qualify for the championship leg??! I'm there buddy, this is the leg where I can play dangerously. I already crushed you like a bug, you just haven't realised yet. LOL. <btw, have you and Syd set a wedding date yet? Your devotion to each other is really touching.> Looks like someone needs to get out of the kitchen. Syd-B is a fine man, don't hate. Lol. Aug-27-15    WannaBe: Today's round 5 betting, I'll either crash and/or burn. Possibly both. Aug-27-15    TheFocus: <WannaBe>< Today's round 5 betting, I'll either crash and/or burn. Possibly both.> Many of us are in this boat. All or nothing. I even made a $13 bet. Aug-27-15    FSR: Assuming that Caruana wins, I'll pocket over c$2,500 between my bet on him and on the Pick Three. Go Caruana! Aug-27-15    FSR: Caruana wins! Aug-27-15    FSR: The other Car (-lsen) also won, in >40 moves unfortunately. Aug-27-15    Penguincw: Hey guys. I know there are a lot of esteemed players out there who would really hate to see tomorrow being a Rest Day in the ChessBookie game as well, so I'm putting up one computer vs. computer bet: TCEC Season 8 Stage 1a: Jonny - Fire. I'm not going to lie though, it is like impossible to predict what time the game will begin. I don't even know what time zone the site is on. :p So I'm setting it at 9:00 am <cg> time. I don't really care who wins, I'm just trying to figure out an unknown start time. If the game starts before that, I don't know what to do. In other news, Sinquefield Cup Rd 4-6: Pick Three is currently "Black-White-?". Do you have the first 2 games and are waiting for the 3rd game? Well too bad, because you have to wait an extra day! :p Aug-27-15    FSR: An incredible day, thanks principally to the c$1,607 I won on Caruana, c$910 on the Pick Three, and c$485 on the Daily Double. Easily my best day ever thus far. Aug-27-15    sydbarrett: Don't get too happy. I hit both the pick three and the Caruana jackpot as well. You're not a special snowflake Fred. In fact you are nothing. I have great winning days every day. Now go to sleep unhappy knowing this. Thank you. Aug-27-15    FSR: Syd, has anyone ever told you that you're a dick? Aug-27-15    sydbarrett: Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. Are you sure you are ready for tomorrow's battle, Fred... Much pain there will be Aug-27-15    WannaBe: Sounds like the line from my favourite movie. "Godfather". =)) Aug-28-15    FSR: Syd plagiarized it from Yoda. http://www.yodaquotes.net/fear-is-t... Aug-28-15    SwitchingQuylthulg: <Penguincw: I'm not going to lie though, it is like impossible to predict what time the game will begin.

If the game starts before that, I don't know what to do.> Right now it seems likely that exactly that will happen, though you might get lucky yet. I think TCEC currently observes UTC+2, which is six hours ahead of Chessgames. Aug-28-15    moronovich: <sydbarrett: Don't get too happy. I hit both the pick three and the Caruana jackpot as well. You're not a special snowflake Fred. In fact you are nothing. I have great winning days every day. Now go to sleep unhappy knowing this. Thank you.> Poor little fellow. Aug-28-15    Penguincw: < Switch: ... Right now it seems likely that exactly that will happen, though you might get lucky yet. I think TCEC currently observes UTC+2, which is six hours ahead of Chessgames. > Wow, I actually did come damn close. Currently, it's 18 minutes after 9, and 2 moves have been made. Close enough! I'm not sure what I would've done if the game started earlier. In fact, I just had this dream where the Sinquefield Cup Round 6 was <today>, and the games had started super early in the morning. I tried making a post asking what time the game started, but then that alarm clock... < FSR: Syd plagiarized it from Yoda. > So <Mark>, that quote "Sometimes fools win battles, generals win wars!" is still yours, right? :) Aug-28-15    MarkFinan: Don't involve me in this, I'm just laughing my ass off because Fred accused Syd of plagiarizing Yoda LOL 😂😂😂 Too funny. Aug-28-15    Penguincw: Wow, Jonny held Fire to a draw: TCEC Season 8 Stage 1a: Jonny - Fire. This bet ended mere minutes before the leaderboard update, so the leaderboard is updated. :) I also see this bet closed just 1:27 before the actual start time. Believe it or not, that's more than the Sinquefield Cup (I usually set it around 3:16). Aug-28-15    Penguincw: < Total number of contestants: 201 > Woo hoo! 200 contestants. That number has basically doubled in the last 2 weeks. Every user-bookie to date has hit at least 200 contestants (well one of them had 199). Aug-28-15    Sneaky: <ERROR : Your account does not have enough money to afford this wager.> Darn, that's never a good error to get. <That number has basically doubled in the last 2 weeks.> As cool as that is, perhaps CG would do well to double-check these new signups and make sure it's not shenanigans. I don't see any new faces in the forum... Aug-28-15    Penguincw: < As cool as that is, perhaps CG would do well to double-check these new signups and make sure it's not shenanigans. I don't see any new faces in the forum... > <Mark>, are you keeping track of any suspicious users? ;) Uh, I think <cg> does a check at the end of every leg, so it shouldn't be a problem. But I guess it can't hurt to do one now. I heard the state of Florida could soon face a tropical storm. I heard this site doesn't encounter any problems... Aug-28-15    TheFocus: <I heard the state of Florida could soon face a tropical storm. I heard this site doesn't encounter any problems...> I think this site has had enough tropical Florida storms, don't you think? 8^) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 501) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 357 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing>
