| Apr-12-17 | | TheFocus: I was wondering if the idea has ever been considered on adding "how to pronounce this players name" in their bios? Seems like it would help a lot of members. |
|
| Apr-12-17 | | TheFocus: My last post was on the wrong forum.
Apologies. |

 | | Annie K.: ... now to try and remember how to <play> this game... ;p Thanks <WinKing>! :) |
|
| Apr-15-17 | | WinKing: Hey, good luck <Annie K.>! :) |
|
| Apr-15-17 | | technical draw: Hey, I'm tied for first! I think I'll just wait until everyone starts losing and then make bets. Great strategy, don't steal it. |

| | Annie K.: <WinKing> pssst... if you would like the program to create the three betting lines automatically, you need to leave a space after the colon. ;) For example, "Round 7:Svidler-Kramnik" should be "Round 7: Svidler-Kramnik". |
|
| Apr-16-17 | | WinKing: Oooh...thanks <Annie K.> I forgot about that. Just like I forgot about how to put in Vachier-Lagrave's name properly. Gotta shake the rust off. ;) |

| | Chessgames Bookie: The GRENKE Chess Classic is a slugfest!
8 decisive games out of 12 in the first three rounds. And guess what? Yifan Hou leads a field(2.5/3) that include Carlsen, Caruana & Vachier-Lagrave! She already beat Caruana & drew with Carlsen. Cats are chasing dogs, lambs are eating wolves...well you get the picture. Place your bets for a sure to be exciting 4th round. And our <Annie K.> hit a nice Pick Three to grab top spot on the Leaderboard. Way to go <Annie K.>! Ladies night out! ;) |
|
Apr-17-17
| | Chessgames Bookie: Don't forget that tomorrow, Tues. 4/18, is a rest day for the GRENKE players. Play resumes on Wed. 4/19. Plenty of time to plan your strategy. |

MAMMAdyarov to the competition ;)

| Apr-22-17 | | gauer: I just thought I'd say that I do like the new(er) views on the live game broadcast page of the stockfish analysis link (it also displays well in a mobile window) and also the latter search "Magnus Carlsen vs Maxime Vachier-Lagrave" link to the 2 players. For an open wager page (ie GRENKE Chess Classic 2017 Round 7: Hou - Naiditsch ), is it possible to include the latter by default for pairs of popular players?! |

| | Chessgames Bookie: <gauer...is it possible to include the latter by default for pairs of popular players?!> So what you would like is to have an E-Z Search(eg. player x vs. player y) installed in the OPEN EVENTS so comparisons can be made to help determine which pick would be best. Do I have it right? |

<I just thought I'd say that I do like the new(er) views on the live game broadcast page of the stockfish analysis link (it also displays well in a mobile window)> Thanks. We plan on making it far more powerful very soon. <and also the latter search "Magnus Carlsen vs Maxime Vachier-Lagrave" link to the 2 players. For an open wager page (ie GRENKE Chess Classic 2017 Round 7: Hou - Naiditsch ), is it possible to include the latter by default for pairs of popular players?!> If I understand correctly, you propose that we could go to the wagering page and automatically a link would appear that shows the historical matchup. That would save you the trouble from going to the homepage and typing in the names. I suppose we could do that, but don't be surprised if it gives you an error <No such player "Mammadyarov"> ;-) |

|
| Apr-23-17 | | gauer: That or adding a tid link such as Gashimov Memorial (2017) (when redirected on a ticket to an external link, I am less likely to visit the same external link which might also be included at a tid biography - usually at a <ticket> page I don't check much of the live external news) to an open ticket might be a way to improve the style of seeing a ticket. |
