  FSR: The Interwebs are reporting that van Foreest won game 4,while Chukky and WY drew. Ka-ching.
Oct-24-17  sydbarrett: I respect that Kynas isn't resting on his laurels even with that gigantic lead. He has cojones and wants to bury us more. I'd do the same in his position

  FSR: Per chess24, it looks like Wei Yi won, while vF and Adhiban drew, leaving both matches drawn in regulation. Chukky and vF each won 2-0 in the tiebreakers (I didn't even know there were tiebreakers) to win the matches.

  Chessgames Bookie: Unfortunately I'm currently unable to connect to Internet from my own computer due to technical problems. I can log in elsewhere, but don't expect a lot of activity before I get my own connection back.

Apologies for the inconvenience, and thanks to <cg> for handling yesterday's bets for me!

All this betting and back to square one. :-/

  FSR: Kynas is slipping: now he only has exactly(!) 2.5 times as many chessbucks as the No. 2 guy.

  Sneaky: I like these handicapped bets like <Croatia +1.5 - Russia> ...well done Switch!

  Penguincw: I should've asked before betting, but regarding European Team Championship: WINNER, what happens if there's a tie (ex. AZE-UKR is tied, and RUS wins, thus having AZE & RUS both finish with 14)?

Thanks.
