All members are welcome. :) Nov-30-17    sydbarrett: I need a loan so bad :(( Dec-01-17    sydbarrett: Oh man, I was too busy eating turkey for 7 days and only noticed your message now. I know self-deprecation is your style Freddy, but that was mean. >:( Bad luck, you know. Joan of Arc type of bad luck. January is where it counts. Don't count me out for this one just yet. I got magic Dec-03-17    sydbarrett: The loan gods have answered, and I must make them proud Dec-04-17    brankat: What's wrong with the Bookie page. I can't discard the tickets, neither can I make bets. 1:00 AM (East Coast) Monday. Dec-04-17    Chessgames Bookie: <brankat> I'm sorry to hear you had problems placing your bets. If the issues persist, contact Daniel Freeman (chess@chessgames.com) directly and give him as many details as possible about both the exact nature of the problems and the software you're using. See if using a different browser or temporarily disabling add-ons or plugins on your current browser makes any difference. Dec-04-17    brankat: <Chessgames Bookie> Thank You. The thing is working now. Dec-04-17    wordfunph: <London Chess Classic rd 4 All games drawn?> thumbs up to master bookie <Switch>! interesting.. Dec-08-17    WannaBe: Round. Six. Lost. Every. Single. Bet. =(( Dec-10-17    WinKing: Under/Over for Switch solving 5 present hunts this year: 17 clues or under 18 clues or over ;) Dec-11-17    Chessgames Bookie: My apologies for the screw-up that led me to refund all bets on TCEC Rapid rd 15: Nirvana - Stockfish. There's a new market open on the same game now. Dec-12-17    WannaBe: <WinKing> I would have offered 9.5 as the magic number... =))) Dec-16-17    Chessgames Bookie: This has been in the Announcements for quite a while, but in case somebody has missed it: the leg will end on Monday, December 18, with the top ten players qualifying for the Winter Leg. Good luck everybody, and have fun! Dec-18-17    chessgames.com: Congratulations to <truepacifism> for winning the Fall Leg. We'll certify that there are no shenanigans by any of the other 9 players in the top-10 and post the official winner-list shortly. The next leg will begin around Christmas Eve; specifics coming soon. Dec-18-17    truepacifism: Thank you. Best of wishes to all the other players and to all who take the time to keep this going over the years. Dec-18-17    FSR: Looks like I only finished 13th, thereby qualifying for the upcoming championship thrice rather than four times. Sob. Congratulations to winner truepacifism and the other qualifiers, and thanks to Switch for a great job as Bookie. Dec-18-17    moronovich: Congratulations to <truepacifism> ! for taking this leg and thanks to <Switch> for being a great bookie. See you at the final :) Dec-18-17    wordfunph: congrats <truepacifism>! special thanks to our friend and bookie master <Switch>! Dec-18-17    Penguincw: Congrats <truepacifism> for winning the leg. Congrats to the other qualifiers. Thanks <Switch> for running the game smoothly. On to the Championship leg now! Dec-19-17    chessgames.com: Sorry for the delay. I noticed some recycled IP addresses but after a closer look, there was nothing wrongful. As said before, <truepacifism> took home the bacon this leg, and these 9 qualified for the championship leg starting around Christmastime. (2) Kynas (8,206 cb) (3) moronovich (7,523 cb) (4) Touch of Knight (6,666 cb) (5) wordfunph (6,342 cb) (6) kurtrichards (6,181 cb) (7) francis2017 (6,006 cb) (8) Count Wedgemore (4,616 cb) (9) Stonehenge (3,975 cb) (10) brankat (3,701 cb) Dec-19-17    Chessgames Bookie: Congratulations to all qualifiers and especially first-time winner <truepacifism>, who took advantage of the top grandmasters' truly pacifistic play in brilliant fashion! <Kynas> also had an excellent leg and kept the fight for the top spot interesting to the end. The final standings of the leg have been archived for posterity and can be found at http://www.chessgames.com/chessbook.... -- Thanks everyone! It's nice to leave the game on a positive note. Anyone interested in keeping the ChessBookie Game going should consider volunteering to be Bookie. <Annie K.> will return as Bookie for the Winter Leg (so do try to get along with her); but she's not going to keep the game alive all by herself. Good luck for the Championship Leg everybody, and have fun! Dec-19-17    Annie K.: Congratulations to the winner, the runner-ups and everybody who had a good time! :) And thanks very much, <Switch>, for running the leg and the speech. ;) That's straight talk, folks - I'm not going to be taking up the slack more than twice a year, so either we get some new volunteers stepping up to the plate, or the Bookie will just start to have off seasons... and if that happens too many times, the administration may just decide that the game is not popular enough to keep going, and call it off for good. So when we ask for volunteers, that's not some empty formality, or a meaningless tradition, or "for somebody else". It's for <YOU>, and if <YOU> want to keep enjoying this game, better consider taking a turn seriously. The Championship Leg will start with the Blitz and Rapid World Championships, around the 24th or so, as <cg> said. :) Good luck to everybody, as statistics permit (which they don't, but they do allow you to have fun anyway). ;p Jump to page #   (enter # from 1 to 501) search thread:    < Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 435 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing>
