Chessgames Bookie: It would be great if we could get the Bookie site set up to start the new leg with the TATA Steel tournament about to begin in a week. Thanks

Chessgames Bookie: Sargon, Could we get an adminstrator to close out the Fall Leg of the Chessbookie? Prizes and reset all to $1000, or more if we're not going to get a mid-leg payday? Thanks, jingo Gens una sumus!

Apr-23-17  User not found: This game is addictive as hell. I just went back through the kibitzing to the time I qualified for the CL and me, Fred and Pitapino had a good laugh. Fred accusing Syd Barrett of plagiarising Yoda and posting a link as proof was one of those literally LOL moments. Accidental comedy :)

Anyways I just wondered if you're having a P3 tomorrow Mr Bookie? I'm planning on winning a leg, I qualified before but I don't think I was in 1st place.

  Chessgames Bookie: <User not found:Anyways I just wondered if you're having a P3 tomorrow Mr Bookie?>

There will be at least one possibly two more Pick 3's before this tournament is over <User not found>. You'll just have to wait to find out when. A good bookie never reveals his modus operandi .

Apr-23-17  User not found: Okay dokey Mr CB. I'm going with an old tactic this leg. I'm going to put all my cbs on one round.. If I lose I can borrow large amounts from the Shylock (who should be indicted on RICO charges, lol) because going by my previous kibitzing here I went from the basement to top 20 in one round using the loanshark,

  Chessgames Bookie: Tomorrow (Wed. 4/26) is a rest day for the Gashimov players. I will see if I can post a couple of games from the Reykjavik tournament(Round 9). It may take awhile because the Round 8 games are still in progress as I write this. This is an Open so they won't have the pairings ready until well after the 8th round games are all completed.
Apr-25-17
Premium Chessgames Member
  Annie K.: When the pairings are known in advance, like at Shamkir, I usually like to put up the bets for the post-rest-day round early; they will accumulate bigger pools that way, especially good for Pick Threes and exotics. Plus this makes sure there's always something to bet on. ;)

  Chessgames Bookie: Games have been posted from the Reykjavik Open 2017 upcoming Round 9.

  Chessgames Bookie: I will be posting games for the final 10th round of the Reykjavik Open 2017 so stay tuned.

  Chessgames Bookie: Anish Giri leads the pack @ the Reykjavik Open 2017 with a score of 7.5/9. There are 10 players tied for 2nd thru 11th place with a score of 7/9. If Giri wins he wins the tournament. If Giri draws it will probably come down to tie-breaks. I have posted a couple of games from the upcoming final 10th round. Place your bets on what should be an interesting finish.

  Chessgames Bookie: Congratulations to GM Anish Giri on winning sole first place in the Reykjavik Open 2017 with a score of 8.5/10. There was a 4 way tie for second (Van Foreest, Movsesian, Gupta & Kamsky) each with 8/10.
Apr-28-17  scout118: <WinKing> Why betting lines for all round 8 except So-Radjabov? Need to place some max bet chessbucks. Let the first move bet be an extra line for those who like this type of line. Thks.
Apr-28-17
Premium Chessgames Member
  Chessgames Bookie: I move the players in & out of the line-up <Scout118>. I will rarely put up all(5) of the games head to head, maybe once in each tournament. It was Round 4 for this tournament. Besides, I had not put up a 'first move' bet yet for this tournament. GM So is the best candidate because he plays all four of the main opening moves.
Apr-29-17  scout118: You can do both So-Radjabov AND first move PLUS over-under or any combination of additional bets. We see this all the time with Carlsen-Anand or any top player games to maximize betting. Just a suggestion for your kind consideration if not now, then in future.

  Chessgames Bookie: We will be off for a few days until the 2nd FIDE Grand Prix Series starts(May 11th-May 22nd). Right now there is really not much of interest going on. If I find anything of interest in the next few days I will let you all know.

  Chessgames Bookie: I am looking at the Premier League Russian Teams 2017 Championship which takes place in Sochi, Russia & runs from May 1st thru May 10th. There may be a few games we can post from that. My Russian isn't very good so stay tuned.
May-03-17
Premium Chessgames Member
  Chessgames Bookie: I am waiting to see if they post the pairings for the Russian Team Championships. The men were off today & there is still one game going in the women's segment. If they get some pairings up within a reasonable amount of time I will post a few games.
May-03-17
Premium Chessgames Member
  Chessgames Bookie: I have not seen any pairings posted for the Russian Team Championships 2017. There is now less than 10hrs to go before round 3 begins. Too little time to build up a respectable betting pool. Will try again in round 4. They may not be releasing the pairings until the round is about to begin.

  Chessgames Bookie: The pairings for Rnd.6 of the Premier League Russian Team Championship 2017 have been posted for Tues. 5/9/17.

  Chessgames Bookie: I cancelled the bets for Round 6 of the Russian Team Championship 2017. I thought today was an off day & they played tomorrow but I see that round 6 is in progress now. Someone upstairs just does not want us to bet on this event...I tried.

  Chessgames Bookie: I can not confirm that Hikaru Nakamura is playing in the 2017 FIDE World Chess Moscow Grand Prix. If his website below is any indication it does not show him playing in this event. I will list the 18th player as 'OTHER' in the 'Pick the Winner' bet for this event.

May-10-17  WinKing: If anyone comes across who the 'mystery' 18th player is in the Moscow Grand Prix please post it here so that we all know who the 'OTHER' is - thanks. I am assuming it is Nakamura...but you know what they say "Never assume anything".
