< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 401 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-24-16    Beholder: Wow, <Switch The Great and Powerful> is below me on the leaderboard!? Such a momentous occasion. I'll have to enjoy it while it lasts (which is not for long). Mar-24-16    Chessgames Bookie: <Penguincw: Uh, Bookie, what happened here?> Casualty of war. ;) No, I notified <chessgames> already about that <Penguincw>. I thought I was paying a Round 11 UNDER/OVER but pulled the wrong one when paying the bet. I like posting rounds in advance but this is one problem that can happen if you are not extremely vigilant. Mar-24-16    chessgames.com: World Chess Candidates Tournament Round 12 (Caruana - Aronian): OVER/UNDER is working now. Mar-24-16    Chessgames Bookie: Thank You <chessgames>! Mar-25-16    FSR: P. Sviddy played 1.c4! Yes! Mar-25-16    FSR: Nakamura - Anand : Nakamura 1500 YOU WIN! COLLECT 7359 Mar-25-16    Chessgames Bookie: Way to go <FSR>! Start climbing the ladder to the top! Be careful though one step at a time. ;) Mar-25-16    FSR: When does the Championship Leg end? Mar-25-16    Chessgames Bookie: <FSR: When does the Championship Leg end?> April 28th <FSR>. You have plenty of time to make up more ground. This leg is a marathon...pace yourself. :) Mar-25-16    Penguincw: <Bookie> called the shot: World Chess Candidates Tournament Round 12 (Caruana - Aronian): OVER/UNDER. "OVER" <did> end up winning. Good thing I put some money on that. Mar-25-16    moronovich: Couldn´t we please have a Pick 3 for next round !? And preferable also for the last round. Mar-25-16    Chessgames Bookie: <moronovich: Couldn´t we please have a Pick 3 for next round !? And preferable also for the last round.> Pick Three is up already for the next round <moronovich>. No promises for the last round. Mar-25-16    Annie K.: OK Bookie players, if anybody would like to volunteer to take a turn at being Bookie and running one of the legs in the upcoming 2016 cycle, now would be a good time to say so! ;) Mar-25-16    WinKing: Don't everybody jump at once to <Annie K.>'s offer. C'mon not one volunteer out there? The job isn't that hard & you get to see how the game really works. A once in a lifetime opportunity & your going to let it pass you by. Mar-26-16    Annie K.: <WinKing> Hey, nice pitch, thanks! ;) I might as well add that in my experience, while running the Bookie does take some time, it's not really much more time than it takes to play it. As a player (when I feel like being serious about it), :p I sometimes take more time to research the bets in an event than it would take me to set them up as the Bookie. :) BTW, the ongoing Grenke Chess Open may be worth a few lines too: https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-t... http://www.grenkechessopen.de/en/ Mar-26-16    WinKing: I saw that Open(Grenke) <Annie K.>. The problem is there are two rounds per day only 6hrs between rounds & then you have to wait for pairings. I may pass on this one we'll see. Mar-26-16    Annie K.: Oh, I see. I had one of these tournaments too, I only put up bets for the first round of the day. Not enough time to get a pool for the second one. :) Mar-26-16    WinKing: <Annie K.> I may try to sneak in a game or two for the 8th round of the Grenke Open if I can find the time tomorrow. Very busy day with the family, Easter Sunday & all. I will be paying off bets a little later than usual tomorrow(Sunday 3/27). Mar-27-16    Annie K.: Have fun! :) Mar-27-16    Sneaky: Topalov - Nakamura : Nakamura [cash in ticket] 600 YOU WIN! COLLECT 2760 Never underestimate the potential of Toppy when he's in self-destruct mode. Mar-28-16    FSR: Sneaky - that worked for me too yesterday, but today I foolishly bet 1400 on Giri to beat Topalov, which worked out less well. Mar-28-16    Chessgames Bookie: Congratulatins to GM Sergey Karjakin on winning the Candidates Tournament! He won with an 8.5/14 score. GM's Caruana & Anand were tied for 2nd-3rd with 7.5/14 each. Mar-28-16    Chessgames Bookie: Our next event may be some games from the Karpos Open being held in Skopje, Macedonia between April 1st to April 7th. I am still looking into this event & don't have any of the details yet. Stay tuned! Mar-28-16    Sneaky: <Karjakin [cash in ticket] 500 YOU WIN! COLLECT 3908> Dat's my boy. Mar-28-16    Karposian: <Chessgames Bookie: Our next event may be some games from the Karpos Open> Great name for a tournament :) Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 501) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 401 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing>
