 | | moronovich: Lots of thanks to our dear bookie for all the time and effort.Much apreciated.
Also for introducing Pick 3,twice a day.
And itcould be an idea to extend it to a normal 10 players field.Just recycle one of the players...Also kudos to all the runners up.
I still have great memories from the time when <Count Wedgemore>,<morfishine< and yours truly were rubbing shoulders.
And no more nightmares about amigo <wordfunph> catching me on the finish line :) |

Congratulations to <moronovich> for finishing far ahead of the competition, with 27,021 chessbucks. He wins a $100 gift certificate to The Chessgames Store and a 1 year membership to Chessgames, as well as automatic inclusion in next year's championship. 2nd place goes to <wordfunph> with 19,531 chessbucks, winning a $25 gift certificate, a 1 year membership to Chessgames, and inclusion in next year's championship. 3rd place goes to <Touch of Knight> with 17,046 chessbucks, winning a $25 gift certificate, a 4-month membership to Chessgames, and inclusion in next year's championship.

If your email is not correct in your account, please update it ASAP so you get the prize. <GRATITUDE> A big round of applause for User: WinKing for conducting this Championship leg, the last ChessBookie leg run by a volunteer Bookie. That's right, the daily management of the ChessBookie game is now returning to CG employee <Kevin>, who had run it before, several years ago. Welcome back, Kevin! <THE NEXT LEG> is starting immediately, with betting on the GRENKE Chess Classic. Good luck everybody! |

| Apr-20-19 | | morfishine: This is sad <chessbookie> about cheaters. I can't even imagine how they would "cheat" at this fun game, or why? Its all monopoly money
