  martin moller: Hello Chess Bookie - You really need to talk to Mr.Loanshark, he wouldn`t lend me any chessbucks. ;-( Best regards Mr.Natural born looser. Thank you very much in advance.
Apr-23-19  morfishine: Wow, the Spring leg runs into August...I guess there is no Summer leg

  Annie K.: <the Spring leg runs into August>

Just barely. :) We will have Summer and Fall legs, one or both of them will just have to be a little shorter.

Determining when legs end has always been largely a function of finding a break between major tournaments that would be long enough to serve as the necessary hiatus between legs (about a week).

According to the current forecast at https://2700chess.com/, late July is simply booked solid. There just isn't a long enough break to stop until Aug 2, when there is an opening until Aug 8 - and even this will be on the "crowded" side.

  offramp: Has the Holiday Clues Hunt finished yet?
Apr-26-19  Count Wedgemore: The GRENKE Round 6: Naiditsch - Anand bet is wrongly stating Vallejo Pons as Anand's opponent instead of Naiditsch. You see it when you open the link.
Apr-26-19  WinKing: That's a simple fix for the bookie. So long as the bet is listed properly in the 'Header' & it is. Should be corrected though.
May-11-19  wordfunph: <CG Bookie> how about Carlsen-Nakamura or Nakamura-Carlsen game on Sunday Blitz Day 2?

Thanks.

May-13-19  morfishine: Hi <Chessbookie> can you remove those two last losing bets of mine? Thanks
May-13-19  morfishine: Thank you <ChessBookie>! I can't wait til the Grand Prix Moscow!
May-19-19  mike1: Would it please be possible to clear the " Whats hot"-section and post all new bets there (at least as well)? Thank you
May-23-19  EIDorado: Could you pay the previous bets before the deadline of the new ones? Thanks!
May-29-19  WinKing: Coming soon!
