< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 475 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-15-19    Chessgames Bookie: In regards to the 'Longest Game?' bet I came up with a list with the longest games by round. I have always found such lists to be helpful when making choices in the Bookie game. Longest games by Round: Rd.1) Dzagnidze - Krush 69 moves 0-1 Rd.2) Krush - Gunina 68 moves ½-½ Rd.3) Dzagnidze - Sebag 70 moves 1-0 Rd.4) Krush - Zatonskih 59 moves 1-0 Rd.5) Kosteniuk - Khotenashvili 54 moves 1-0 Rd.6) Gunina - Paehtz 88 moves 1-0 Rd.7) Paehtz - Sebag 57 moves ½-½ Rd.8) Dzagnidze - Kosteniuk 68 moves ½-½ ***** Feb-15-19    Chessgames Bookie: I see the betting is a little heavier this final 9th round. I can sense a Leaderboard shake up is in the making. Feb-15-19    Dr Winston OBoogie: Is this the last round of the championship leg? Feb-15-19    Chessgames Bookie: <Dr Winston OBoogie: Is this the last round of the championship leg?> No <DWOB>. We still have 3 tournaments to go before the Chmp. Leg is over. This is only the last round of the Cairns Cup tournament. Still to come: Aeroflot Open (Feb. 19th-27th) Prague Chess Festival 2019 - Master Tournament (March 6th-16th) The USA Championship 2019 (March 20th-April 1st) Feb-15-19    Dr Winston OBoogie: Hi bookie. Thank you for your reply. I've still got time then :) Feb-15-19    Chessgames Bookie: For the 'Cairns Cup: How many decisive games?' bet there were 25 draws in the 45 total games played. Congrats to those who chose '25 or more decisive games'. I know I never would have bet that myself. Rd.1 - 4/5 decisive games Rd.2 - 1/5 decisive games Rd.3 - 3/5 decisive games Rd.4 - 4/5 decisive games Rd.5 - 3/5 decisive games Rd.6 - 3/5 decisive games Rd.7 - 2/5 decisive games Rd.8 - 1/5 decisive games Rd.9 - 4/5 decisive games ________________________ Total - 25/45 decisive games ***** Feb-15-19    morfishine: The White-White-Draw paid 9272 with 200 CB's at 45-1 Feb-15-19    Chessgames Bookie: Congratulations to Valentina Gunina on winning the 'Inaugural Cairns Cup 2019' tournament with a score of 7/9. We will now have a few days off before the Aeroflot Open begins. I will put in a request for Payday to <chessgames>. In two more days(Sunday Feb. 17th) I will put up a 'Pick the Winner!' bet for Aeroflot. Hope everyone enjoyed the Cairns Cup 2019 tournament. See you in a couple of days. The Bookie needs a break. Feb-15-19    Chessgames Bookie: <morfishine: The White-White-Draw paid 9272 with 200 CB's at 45-1> I saw you 'rocket' up the Leaderboard <morf>. That was an awesome bet you made! Good pickin'! ;) Feb-15-19    morfishine: <Chessgames Bookie> You deserve a break, I'm sure that we are all in agreement that your postings and updates have been fantastic! Its a wonder that with time-zone differences that you've been able to keep up so handsomely! Job well done! Feb-15-19    Count Wedgemore: <morfishine> Agreed. The Bookie is doing an excellent job. All hail our esteemed bookie!

Greatly appreciated! :) Feb-16-19    moronovich: Also appreciation from me to our dear <Bookie>.Great job ! Feb-17-19    Chessgames Bookie: Thanks <moronovich>. Feb-17-19    Penguincw: I'd like to join the list of people in thanking you for all you've done so far. I know exactly what this job is like.. Feb-17-19    Chessgames Bookie: Thank you <Penguincw>. I remember you being the Bookie. You did a nice job when you ran the show. Feb-18-19    Chessgames Bookie: Sometime today the pairings for Aeroflot should be posted. I will see what they look like before posting any bets. As I have mentioned previously, when Gibraltar was going on(Jan. 20th), the pairings in the early rounds of Opens are usually a huge mismatch. So I may not post a lot of bets for the first few rounds. We'll see what we can do. A little Bookie magic might be needed. Feb-18-19    martin moller: Hi Chess Bookie - First of all thank you very much for the fun bookie game which i have played for many years :-) I do however miss some kind of price for the participants who end rock bottom ;-) Because as hard as it is to be the winner, it is not as easy as one might think to end rock bottom (maybe even a hall of fame for the participant with the largest minus). Feb-18-19    Count Wedgemore: <martin moller: maybe even a hall of fame for the participant with the largest minus).> You mean hall of shame? :) Feb-18-19    Chessgames Bookie: <martin moller: Because as hard as it is to be the winner, it is not as easy as one might think to end rock bottom (maybe even a hall of fame for the participant with the largest minus).> Let's not get carried away. :) You play this game long enough you will at some time or other find the basement. I know because I've been there myself a few times. Even the best players here end up there on occasion. And besides, it really isn't that hard to do. ;) Feb-18-19    martin moller: <Count Wedgemore> <hall of shame> Please your highness! I don´t think it´s a shame, I think it´s fun. Was just thinking there were more to Chess Bookie than to win ! <Chessgames Bookie> Thank you for the answer, and Many Thanks for the fun game, I will redobbel my efforts trying to finish LAST :-) Will you please concider letting Loanshark lending 200 CB instead of 100 as minimum ? :-) :-) Feb-18-19    moronovich: If it wasn´t because of players like Martin,the loanshark would be unemployed. A horrible thought. Hats of for Martin ! Feb-18-19    morfishine: <Chessgames Bookie> I guess you could load up with 1st move, long castle, over/under, daily double or pick three bets and not even have to post an individual wager. Let exotics be the rule of the day! Feb-18-19    Chessgames Bookie: No pairings for Aeroflot as of 1:40pm EST. Should be soon I would think. http://chess-results.com/tnr403175....
