Apr-18-16    Golden Executive: The pairings for Norway 2016 (a very strange format): http://norwaychess.no/en/results-bl... Apr-18-16    Chessgames Bookie: Looks pretty confusing <GE>. :/ Apr-18-16    Golden Executive: <Chessgames Bookie: Looks pretty confusing <GE>. :/> Yes it is :(. I will let some comments about that strange cross-table in your forum. Apr-19-16    Chessgames Bookie: I am unsure exactly when Norway Chess 2016 begins <chessgames> time. I have Round 1 starting @ 10:00am <chessgames> time(EDT). The world clocks I have checked show a 6hr. difference between Norway & <chessgames>. The official Norway Chess website say all rounds start @ 4pm CET. So according to that we should get started @ 10am here(chessgames). If they start sooner(for whatever reason) I will have to pull the plug on the betting. Hopefully I have it right.

Apr-25-16    centralfiles: Just for clarity No new bets after April 28 even if there's a playoff? Apr-25-16    Chessgames Bookie: <centralfiles: Just for clarity No new bets after April 28 even if there's a playoff?> The last day is April 29th <centralfiles>. We are finishing the Championship Leg when the Norway Chess tournament ends. The final round 9 of that tournament is on April 29th.

Apr-25-16    Chessgames Bookie: Thanks <Switch> correction made. Apr-25-16    FSR: Shouldn't <Pick the winner - 2016 U.S. Chess Championship> be paid out? Apr-25-16    juan31: <Chessgames Bookie> : ¿ Do you have any response? I know the leg ending in a few days , are not the chessbucks, is the possible error in upcoming legs. Gracias Apr-26-16    Karposian: <Chessgames Bookie: The last day is April 29th <centralfiles>. We are finishing the Championship Leg when the Norway Chess tournament ends. The final round 9 of that tournament is on April 29th.> From today's Chessbase article about Norway Chess, rd6: <There will be a blitz match and rapid chess Friday April 29 after Round 9 if two players share first place. If there are more than 2 players sharing first place a new match will take place Saturday 30.> So, it seems that Norway Chess may not end until April 30th. Apr-26-16    Chessgames Bookie: <FSR: Shouldn't <Pick the winner - 2016 U.S. Chess Championship> be paid out?> Thanks for reminding me <FSR>. I meant to do that earlier & I was sidetracked. All those holding Caruana tickets have been paid. Apr-26-16    Chessgames Bookie: <juan31: <Chessgames Bookie> : ¿ Do you have any response?
