So - Ding
Vachier-Lagrave - Aronian

Mamedyarov - Karjakin |
|
| Jun-25-19 | | morfishine: Hello <CGBookie>! How bout a "Pick 6" picking all 6 games? |
|
| Jun-25-19 | | wallytherhino: Hello <CGBookie>! I would love to see three daily doubles. Chessgames has broken down the overall record for each GM [Reference 1]. The best way to promote betting odds on a daily double is to provide at least one game with a higher than usual percentage chance to end up in a win. Can we also get a guess the number of wins in the round bet? Recommended daily doubles:
Daily Double 1:
Giri - Carlsen
Vachier-Lagrave - Aronian
Daily Double 2:
Caruana - Nakamura
Anand - Nepomniachtchi
Daily Double 3:
Mamedyarov - Karjakin
So - Ding
REFERENCE 1:
Croatia Grand Chess Tour 2019:
Player [Overall Record]
Carlsen [+681 -270 =728 (62.2%)*]
Giri [+360 -132 =595 (60.5%)*]
So [+512 -214 =691 (60.5%)*]
Ding [+218 -57 =322 (63.5%)*]
Vachier-Lagrave [+569 -178 =724 (63.3%)*]
Aronian [+568 -223 =901 (60.2%)*]
Anand [+648 -228 =1063 (60.8%)*]
Nepomniachtchi [+303 -141 =445 (59.1%)*]
Mamedyarov [+860 -450 =955 (59.1%)*]
Karjakin [+346 -167 =698 (57.4%)*]

| Jul-11-19 | | WinKing: Hi Kevin. These are the pairings for Round 1 from the official
site worldchess.com.. The only thing I'm a little skeptical about
is there are no color assignments listed with the pairings. Might
want to wait till they are listed on chess24 to be sure. I have
little faith in worldchess.com.
