< Earlier Kibitzing  · PAGE 478 OF 501 ·  Later Kibitzing> Feb-26-19    morfishine: Ha ha, now for a good laugh for all to hear: I guess I got distracted with phone calls last night and what not (and perhaps a few extra beers didn't help matters) and accidentally tripled down on Daily Double #1 when I meant to spread the extra over #2 and the pick three. My exposure went through the roof while my upside ground to a halt. I estimated I would lose at least 3,000 CB today and possibly as much as 10,000 CB's due to this sloppy error. I feel very lucky to "escape" with a mere 3K drop lol :) Feb-27-19    morfishine: Congratulations to <moronovich> who sits squarely in the lead at the half way point! Fine Play! Feb-27-19    moronovich: Thanks <morfishine> ! Feb-27-19    Chessgames Bookie: Congratulations to GM Kulaots on winning the Aeroflot Open 2019. We have a few off days before the next event the Prague Chess Festival Master tournament. I will post a 'Pick the Winner' bet in a few days. Mar-01-19    Chessgames Bookie: I have posted a 'Pick the Winner!' bet for the Prague Masters 2019 tournament. Place your bets!

Mar-02-19    Chessgames Bookie: I have found a tournament to list a few games from until the Prague Masters kicks in. The Spring Chess Classic - Group A tournament is being held in St. Louis, MO. USA from March 2nd - March 10th. Description from 'chess24' below: <The 2019 Spring Chess Classic is a 10-player round-robin tournament taking place from 2-10 March in the St. Louis Chess Club. Players receive 90 minutes for 40 moves, followed by 30 minutes to the end of the game, with a 30-second increment starting from move one. No draw offers are allowed before move 30.> The Field: Akobian (USA) 2625 Bok (NED) 2638 Hansen (CAN) 2612 Ivanchuk (UKR) 2698 Kasimdzhanov (UZB) 2663 Le Quang Liem (VNM) 2715 Nyzhnyk (UKR) 2638 Robson (USA) 2667 Tari (NOR) 2613 Xiong (USA) 2663 Avg. rating 2653 - Category XVII Official website: www.uschesschamps.com/2019-spring-chess-classic Mar-04-19    morfishine: <Chessgames Bookie> Cool, nice thinking, nice field and nice prelude to Prague! Mar-04-19    Chessgames Bookie: Yeah <morf> the Spring Chess Classic makes for a good 'filler' for a few days. Even when Prague is going on I may throw in a few of the better games from the Spring Chess Classic. Mar-05-19    Chessgames Bookie: The drawing of lots for the Prague Masters takes place today, Tue. Mar. 5th, at 18:00hrs(6pm) Prague time & 12:00hrs(noon) chessgames time. I hope to have some bets up as soon as the pairings become available. Mar-05-19    Chessgames Bookie: Pairings are up & bets have been posted for Round 1 of the Prague Masters 2019 tournament. http://chess-results.com/tnr420482.... Mar-05-19    morfishine: Great Set up <Chessgames Bookie>! Great to see <Doctor Winston OBoogie> playing so well! I hope all do well in the second half of the Championship! Mar-06-19    Dr Winston OBoogie: Thank you Morf. Right now I've got 9 CB's more than you, lol. Another nice 10 cb touch... <SETTLEMENT DATE: Mar-06-19 PROJECTED PAYOUT: 588 (58:1) Prague Masters 2019 Round 1 Rapport - Duda: First Move 1.Nf3 YOU WIN! COLLECT 588 10c$ [cash in ticket> Mar-06-19    Penguincw: < Dr Winston OBoogie> Ayy I got that ticket too. Might be the highlight of my leg... Mar-06-19    Dr Winston OBoogie: Pengerz.. When there's that many CB's on d4 it's always worth a shot at Nf3 because it can always transpose into the same opening anyways. The odds were great I just wished I'd had 1k on it - I'd be runaway leader now :) You still got time, buddy. I started with 10k so I'm not doing <that> well. Just baby bets really :) Mar-08-19    Dr Winston OBoogie: Looking good, Morf. Lol :) Mar-09-19    Chessgames Bookie: Tomorrow is the final 9th round of the Spring Chess Classic 'A' tournament. The 9th round starts a couple of hours earlier than the previous 8 rounds. There is a time change occurring in the United States tomorrow at 02:00hrs (2am). Clocks will be turned ahead one hour as they go to Daylight Savings time. That will affect the starting time for the Prague Masters tournament for those living in the U.S.. I have the 5th round starting at 10:00hrs (10am EDT) instead of 09:00hrs (9am EST) for the previous four rounds. I hope I have all of this worked out correctly. This is always an adventure for the ChessBookie trying to get the starting times right. Mar-09-19    morfishine: Thank you <Chessgames Bookie>! I am certain we all much appreciate your focused attention to detail and thanks for the heads up on the time change! Mar-09-19    Dr Winston OBoogie: <There is a time change occurring in the United States tomorrow at 02:00hrs (2am). Clocks will be turned ahead one hour as they go to Daylight Savings time> Maybe I'm a bit fik but I was sure we all switched the clock back/forward on the same day in every country!? Could have sworn it was the end of March. I should have gone to school, lol :) Btw Chessgames bookie. You're doing a great job, and thank you :) Mar-09-19    Dr Winston OBoogie: Where's my old pal, Morf?? <SETTLEMENT DATE: Mar-09-19 PROJECTED PAYOUT: 1,850 (92:1) Spring Chess Classic 'A' Round 8: Pick Three White-Draw-Draw YOU WIN! COLLECT 1850 20c$ [cash in ticket> Moronovich.. I'm coming for your crown, lol :) Mar-09-19    Chessgames Bookie: Thanks <morf>. 👍 Mar-09-19    Chessgames Bookie: I am contemplating putting up a 'Pick 4' bet, *The Beast*, sometime during the U.S. Championship tournament. No promises just pondering the idea. ;) Mar-10-19    morfishine: <Dr Winston OBoogie> My luck's run dry, I'm putting it all on the last wager of the last round of the last tournament of the Championship Leg Its all or nothing for me Mar-10-19    Chessgames Bookie: Today is the final 9th round of the Spring Chess Classic A 2019 tournament. Tomorrow, Mon. March 11th, is a rest day for the players in the Prague Masters tournament. Play will resume on Tuesday March 12th.
