< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 384 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Oct-19-15    Annie K.: <Penguin> this is basically a support forum, to some extent a discussion page, but definitely not a chatroom. Contrary to what seems to be your impression, IMO constant chatter here is not something to aim for. :) Oct-20-15    MarkFinan: http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2015... I feel a disturbance in the force and this is the most fitting place to explain why.. <It’s possible <Adam Driver plays Vader’s secret apprentice – fitting with the old Sith ‘rule of two’>, Vader should have been training up a protégé to help him overthrow the Emperor.>>> Syd-B. Are you the real "Adam Driver?". Did you kill Darth Chebly to become sith lord Switch's new apprentice? The dark side clouds everything.... hmmmmm. Strange I find this. 🐸 Lol 😂 Oct-20-15    sydbarrett: All will be revealed when the time is right... I was waiting for that trailer at 10 PM last night on Youtube, downing some rums while doing so. There's a chance the film can excite as hoped. Oct-20-15    FSR: In Round 3, Topalov played 1.e4 against Gelfand, while Kramnik played 1.d4 against Nepo. Are those the first White games either has played? Oct-20-15    Karposian: <FSR> Yes, that is correct. Topalov had Black in round 1 and didn't play round 2. Kramnik didn't play in neither of the first two rounds. Oct-20-15    MarkFinan: <I was waiting for that trailer at 10 PM last night on Youtube, downing some rums while doing so.> I'm a Star Wars geek too Syd that's extreme, haha. I'm looking forward to seeing it though. Feel free to delete. Syd-B just threw me with his dedication, lol. Oct-20-15    Chessgames Bookie: <FSR>, <Karposian> thanks for the heads-up, guys, I've been wondering when Kramnik was going to start doing some work. ;) Oct-20-15    sydbarrett: These Euro-Club games are hard to bet on. In the ALKALOID - AVE NOVY BOR bet for instance, I see 8 players listed for Alkaloid on the official website, and 7 for Ave Novy Bor. How many games are gonna be played, and which player(s) will be left out? Ughhhh I abhor this. Oct-21-15    sydbarrett: The website was down when I tried to bet before sleeping last night. I'm barely part of the action again today. Oct-21-15    Penguincw: That moment when you get home late, but you see all your bets won. :) Oct-22-15    MarkFinan: I didn't have one winning slip today, even when I'm down the bottom of the table I usually have <1> winning ticket. Glad I only lost a few 100 though, I'm thinking Switch and Syd-B lost a few cb's today?? I'll definitely win the championship leg, the stars will align, lol. Oct-22-15    Annie K.: Heh, three (3!) wipeouts today, but no drawfest. I think I'll keep throwing those bets into the mix. ;) Oct-22-15    Penguincw: That moment when you forgot to bet, but realize you would've lost money if you did. :) Oct-22-15    sydbarrett: No Mark, I did win a few hundred today. I lost money due to inaction on that first day of Euro-Club betting though. I missed out on some tasty bets that had good payoffs ($6 for each $1 betted) AND high chances of happening. That guy with the hard to spell name made $1000 that day... Oct-23-15    Penguincw: < 11. Penguincw 1,460 > Watch out leaderboard, I haven't had a losing ticket in 3 days. :) Oct-24-15    sydbarrett: Lotsa action today. If Bacrot would only draw his game and not lose, Padova wins and I win $1431. Stupid weakling... so closeee Oct-24-15    sydbarrett: Oh man... if I could alter some of my bets *slightly* from last night... I'd have $500-$1000 more... I was too conservative last night... So much opportunity squandered Oct-24-15    WinKing: <sydbarrett: Oh man... if I could alter some of my bets *slightly* from last night... I'd have $500-$1000 more..> ***yawnnnnn*** Woulda, coulda, shoulda. Oct-24-15    sydbarrett: lol the lines changed dramatically before they closed in the morning while I continued sleeping; that's what I'm pointing out. Stop being so desperate guys. I'm still numero uno despite all your attempts. My winnings are double over 90% of the rest of you, for crying out loud. Oct-26-15    sydbarrett: I made some good money betting on women's chess. I wish there was more to bet on. Back to the familiar now I suppose. ;-) Oct-26-15    WinKing: Oh man I wish the bookie would have had the So-Ding game & the Anand-Giri games today. I would have won a ton of chessbucks. Uh-oh I'm starting to sound like some others around here. ;) Oct-26-15    sydbarrett: I know what you mean. I would have bet $100 on So and made $450. Anand-Giri draw wasn't hard to predict. I would have gotten that too. Oct-26-15    Penguincw: I would've lost money, so I'm quite happy. :) Oct-27-15    Penguincw: And I suffer my first losing ticket(s) in about a week. < 12. MarkFinan 1,463 13. Penguincw 1,458 > Hi <Mark>. :) Oct-29-15    sydbarrett: I seem to remember being at 3023 or 2943 last night. It was some un-rounded number near 3000. But this morning, my total is an oddly rounded 2500. Is my memory bad, or has there been an error? If anyone can help, thanks.
