< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 441 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Mar-11-18    Annie K.: <WinKing> Okay, we'll do it that way. Thanks. :) So we have a decision: The Championship Leg will end on April 9, with the end of the Grenke Chess Classic. Then everybody can admire the final standings for a while, ;) and then around the 15th or so, <WinKing> can open the Spring Leg with winner bets on the US Championship and the Gashimov Memorial. :) I'll update Grenke on the Announcement events list soon. <FSR> thanks for the recaps. Would you like to join us and try your hand at running this game now and then, maybe? ;) Mar-13-18    centralfiles: Adhiban Yilmaz and Eljanov won Sarin and Suri drew. Mar-15-18    centralfiles: Don't forget to pay out the pick 3. Mar-15-18    Annie K.: Good point :D Mar-16-18    wordfunph: in round 6, 10 out of 12 leaders lost chessbucks. <Count> took a day off and <titikiza> was the sole gainer. goodluck! Mar-17-18    Count Wedgemore: <wordfunph> Seems like taking the day off was not a bad idea :) Mar-18-18    FSR: Kramnik, as always in this tournament, goes for the win from a position where anyone else would have taken a draw. Hopefully this means a Ding win . . . . Mar-18-18    centralfiles: Moro is back... Mar-18-18    FSR: Kramnik has been trying valiantly to find a way to lose, but it does not look like he will succeed. Mar-19-18    wordfunph: ...and now <moro> pads his lead. Mar-20-18    FSR: Caruana-Ding drawn!! Mar-20-18    FSR: That was my 18,000th kibitz! Woo hoo! Mar-22-18    technical draw: Congratulations <FSR>. You are a real old timer.' There is really a lot of heavy betting on the Ding-So bet today. Mar-22-18    beatgiant: Pardon me, butt... the action on the European Individual Championship... hasn't Round 6 been played already? I just noticed that after placing a bet. Have I gone crazy or turned into a time traveler? Mar-22-18    moronovich: <beatgiant: Pardon me, butt... the action on the European Individual Championship... hasn't Round 6 been played already? I just noticed that after placing a bet. Have I gone crazy or turned into a time traveler?> Today was a rest day,but tomorrow they will continue. Mar-22-18    beatgiant: <moronovich> What am I missing? We are offered bets on round 6 Bok-Nabaty and Wojtaszek-Saric. On the chess24 relay, both of these games are showing as already completed, with all the moves and the results published. Of course, I could say nothing more and bet my entire wad on those outcomes. Or maybe I should use the power for good, as in the old TV series "Early Edition" ;-) Mar-22-18    WannaBe: Round 6, indeed was played and completed. Mar-22-18    Annie K.: Oh, really? I thought it was supposed to be a rest day. Thanks for the heads-up, everybody... I'll just have to ask Daniel to refund all bets placed after 07:00 EST. :/ Mar-22-18    Annie K.: OK, Daniel refunded all tickets placed after starting time, and I paid off all the rest. Too bad about the rest day mixup, but on the upside there's still plenty of action left in this leg... ;) Mar-23-18    FSR: Astonishing. Ding is failing to win the most crushing position ever seen in the history of chess - thereby costing me 1,018 chessbucks. Sigh. Mar-23-18    centralfiles: after quickly falling all the way down to 453 at the beginning ot the leg i've finally made it back where i started so I should be ripe for another fall... Mar-24-18    Penguincw: In contrast, I have managed to net a few hundred bucks from the Ding game being drawn. I haven't been following the games live, but on the bright side, I don't have to deal with the agony of when a player should've gotten one result but ended up getting a different result. Feels much better. :) Mar-24-18    technical draw: Tomorrow is a rest day. The betting time should be extended. Mar-24-18    FSR: Wow, <moronovich> is not living up to his handle. Mar-24-18    WinKing: <Annie K.> the games start at 09:00am EST on Monday. Time changes in Germany tonight. I think you have the games still set to start at 10:00am on Monday.
