  chessgames.com: Hi,

Sorry about the short notice, but we've decided to end this leg at the end of this month (June 30th) with the closing of the Grand Chess Tour in Belgium.

That means that this leg will be foreshortened, but we'll get back on the original schedule in which July/August/September is the summer leg.

The summer leg will begin before July 5th with the start of 3rd FIDE Grand Prix Series.

<1.)Grand Chess Tour - Paris(France) (Rapid) 2017

2.)Grand Chess Tour - Paris(France) (Blitz) 2017

3.)Grand Chess Tour - Leuven(Belgium) (Rapid) 2017>

I will try to make as many bets available as possible to give all members playing the ChessBookie game chances to advance in the standings.

  Chessgames Bookie: Congratulatons to GM Magnus Carlsen for being the overall winner of the Grand Chess Tour - Paris tournament on a tie-breaker over GM Maxime Vachier-Lagrave. Magnus won the 'Rapid' section of the tournament & Maxime won the 'Blitz' section. When the scores for the rapid & the blitz were added together both players had 24 out of a possible 36 points. There was a two game playoff in which Magnus won the first game & the second game was drawn.
